Detailed Solution

One side of polygon a=2πRn

   α=β=2πn/2=πn;  cotα=da/2

d=a2cotα=πRncotπn

All sides of polygon produce magnetic field at O in same direction

So,   B=n(magnetic field due to one side)

B=n·μ0i4πd(sinα+sinβ)

B=n·μ0i4πnπRcotπnsinπn+sinπn

B=μ0i4πRn2π22sinπ/ncosπ/n·sinπn

B=μ0i2Rsinπ/n/π/ncosπ/n
