From the graph ,we can see that cot x is periodic function with period as  Π .

hence ,cot¯¹ n/Π > Π/6  can be found only for ( 0 , Π )

                       n/Π > cot Π/6

                       n/Π > 31/2

                       n >  Π.31/2

                       n > 5.43  or n>=6  

answer: none of these
