Q.3) Take three angles to be: a - d , a , a + d.sum of the angles is pi. so, a=pi / 3

tan ( a - d ) = 1, so,this angle is pi / 4. and the final angle is 750.

Q.2) 1/1.3 = 22-12 / 22.12 = 1/12 - 1/22

5/36 = 32-22 / 32.22 = 1/22 - 1/32

7/144 = 42-32 / 42.32 = 1/32 - 1/42

UPTO n2-(n-1)2 / n2.(n-1)2 = 1/(n-1)2 - 1/n2

add them to get 1 - 1/n2.

when n→ ∞ , sum gets reduced to 1.

We are asked to find \sum_{k=1}^{\infty} \frac{k}{1\times 3 \times...\times 2k+1}

Notice that k = \frac{2k+1-1}{2}

So we are asked to find

\frac{1}{2} \sum_{k=1}^{\infty} \frac{2k+1-1}{1\times 3 \times...\times 2k+1} = \frac{1}{2} \sum_{k=1}^{\infty} \frac{1}{1 \times 3 \times ...\times (2k-1)} - \frac{1}{1 \times 3 \times ...\times (2k+1)}

which is a telescopic summation which sums to 1/2
