Since,θ$$1$$,θ$$2$$,θ$$3$$,…,θn are in AP⇒ θ$$2$$−θ$$1=$$θ$$3$$−θ$$2=$$…$$=$$θn−θn−$$1=d$$      $$(i)Now$$, taking only first termsin⁡dsec⁡θ$$1sec$$⁡θ$$2=$$$$sin$$⁡dcos⁡θ$$1cos$$⁡θ$$2=$$$$sin$$⁡θ$$2$$−θ$$1cos$$⁡θ$$1cos$$⁡θ$$2=$$$$sin$$⁡θ$$2cos$$⁡θ$$1$$−$$cos$$⁡θ$$2sin$$⁡θ$$1cos$$⁡θ$$1cos$$⁡θ$$2=$$$$sin$$⁡θ$$2cos$$⁡θ$$1cos$$⁡θ$$1cos$$⁡θ$$2$$−$$cos$$⁡θ$$2sin$$⁡θ$$1cos$$⁡θ$$1cos$$⁡θ$$2=$$$$tan$$⁡θ$$2$$−$$tan$$⁡θ$$1Similarly$$, we can solve other terms which will betan⁡θ$$3$$−$$tan$$⁡θ$$2$$,$$tan$$⁡θ$$4$$−$$tan$$⁡θ$$3$$,…∴$$sin$$⁡dsec⁡θ$$1sec$$⁡θ$$2+$$$$sec$$⁡θ$$2sec$$⁡θ$$3+$$…$$+$$$$sec$$⁡θn−$$1sec$$⁡θ$$n=$$$$tan$$⁡θ$$2$$−$$tan$$⁡θ$$1+$$$$tan$$⁡θ$$3$$−$$tan$$⁡θ$$2$$ $$+$$…$$+$$$$tan$$⁡θn−$$tan$$⁡θn−$$1$$ $$=$$−$$tan$$⁡θ$$1+$$$$tan$$⁡θ$$n=$$$$tan$$⁡θn−$$tan$$⁡θ$$1$$
