Dear nishant

0<=a1,a2,.......an<=90

so cosa1,cosa2,..... cosaall are positive .

use AM ≥GM

 ( cosa1+ cosa2+  .....+  cosan)/n ≥[cosa1*cosa2*..... cosan]1/n

equality occure when all are equal

  cosa1= cosa2=  .....=  cosan

so a1 =a2=a3 =   =an

but given

cot a1*cota2....cotan=1

 (cota1)n=1

  cota1= 1

       a1=45

so

cosa1*cosa2*..... cosan =(cosa1)n = (1/√2)n
