Abstract
Srinivasa Ramanujan provided series expansions of certain arithmetical functions in terms of the exponential sums defined by in [Trans. Cambridge Phillos. Soc, 22(13):259-276,1918]. Here we give similar type of expansions in terms of the Cohen-Ramanujan sum defined by E. Cohen in [Duke Mathematical Journal, 16(85-90):2, 1949] as . We also provide some necessary and sufficient conditions for such expansions to exist.

Comments
The techniques which we adopted here can be used to derive infinite series expansions of some arithmetical functions using some other generalizations of Ramanujan sum
