Q. Let $\mathrm{z}=\cos \theta+\mathrm{i} \sin \theta .$ Then the value of $\sum_{\mathrm{m}=1}^{15} \operatorname{Im}\left(\mathrm{z}^{2 \mathrm{m}-1}\right)$ at $\theta=2^{\circ}$ is (A) $\frac{1}{\sin 2^{\circ}}$ (B) $\frac{1}{3 \sin 2^{\circ}}$ (C) $\frac{1}{2 \sin 2^{\circ}}$ (D) $\frac{1}{4 \sin 2^{\circ}}$ [JEE 2009, 3M,-1M]
Ans. (D) $\mathrm{z}=\cos \theta+\mathrm{i} \sin \theta=\mathrm{e}^{\mathrm{i} \theta}$ $\therefore \sum_{m=1}^{15} \operatorname{Im}\left(z^{2 m-1}\right)=\sum_{m=1}^{15} \operatorname{Im}\left(e^{i \theta}\right)^{2 m-1}=\sum_{m=1}^{15} \operatorname{Im} e^{i(2 m-1) \theta}$ $=\sin \theta+\sin 3 \theta+\ldots \ldots+\sin 29 \theta$ $=\frac{\sin \left(\frac{\theta+29 \theta}{2}\right) \cdot \sin \left(\frac{15 \times 2 \theta}{2}\right)}{\sin \frac{2 \theta}{2}}$c $=\frac{\sin (15 \theta) \cdot \sin (15 \theta)}{\sin \theta}, \theta=2^{\circ}$b $=\frac{1}{4 \sin 2^{\circ}}$
