 write the question like this, divide in odd terms n even terms
 
1/1^2 +1/3^2 + 1/5^2.......upto infinity   +  1/2^2 +1/4^2 +1/6^2.......upto infinity = pi/6
 Now from the even terms take common 1/2^2
 
1/1^2 +1/3^2 +1/5^2........    + 1/2^2  ( 1/1^2 + 1/3^2 + 1/5^2+................) =pi/6 
 
now let 1/1^2 + 1/3^2 + 1/5^2..........    =K
 
so we can write 
K +1/2^2(K) = pi/6
K +K/4 = pi/6
5*K/4= pi/6
K=2*pi/15
So
1/1^2 + 1/3^2 + 1/5^2.................. = 2*pi/15

Dear Student,
Please find below the solution to your problem.

1/1^2 +1/3^2 + 1/5^2.......upto infinity + 1/2^2 +1/4^2 +1/6^2.......upto infinity = pi/6
Now from the even terms take common 1/2^2
1/1^2 +1/3^2 +1/5^2........ + 1/2^2 ( 1/1^2 + 1/3^2 + 1/5^2+................) =pi/6
now let 1/1^2 + 1/3^2 + 1/5^2.......... =K
so we can write
K +1/2^2(K) = pi/6
K +K/4 = pi/6
5*K/4= pi/6
K=2*pi/15
So
1/1^2 + 1/3^2 + 1/5^2.................. = 2*pi/15

Thanks and Regards
