 \sec^2 \alpha_1 \sec^2 \alpha_2 ...\sec^2 \alpha_n
 
= (1+\tan^2 \alpha_1) (1+\tan^2 \alpha_2)...(1+\tan^2 \alpha_1)
 
and by AM_GM we have
 
\ge (2 \tan \alpha_1) (2 \tan \alpha_2)...(2 \tan \alpha_n)
 
= 2^n \tan \alpha_1 \tan \alpha_2...\tan \alpha_n
 
= 2^n
 
It follows that the max value of the given expression is \boxed{\frac{1}{2^{\frac{n}{2}}}}

For maximum vaule
 
Cotx1=cotx2=......….........=π⁄4
So max value of 
Cosx1.cosx2 .....=(1/√2)^n
