I tried to do this way
2sin2 + 4sin4 + 6sin6 +... + 178sin178+0
Clubbing 2sin2 and 178sin2 => 180 sin2
Similarly applied to others,but I did not get the answer :-(
Where is the mistake ?
Let k=1 ,then find value of 2sin2k + 4sin4k + 6sin6k +... + 180sin180k
find the imaginary part of
\large \sum_{n=1}^{90}{n \sin(2kn)}=imaginary(\sum_{n=1}^{90}{n e^{(2kn)i}})
the term on the right is a AG series. with first term common difference 2 and common ratio e2k i
find the sum and then take its imaginary part.

there is no mistake..
your approach will give
180(sin 2+ sin 4+ sin 6.... sin 90)
you can either use the series sum for sin (a) + sin(a+d) ... sin (a+(n-1)d) from memory
or use the trick that i used above.
In fact your approach makes it even easier to find the sum i gave above.
The answer is double of what you are getting.
I think you have missed a 2 somewhere!
somehow 90 tan 89 is very close to the answer.. but not exactly equal.. !!!
