MCQ
$\cos \frac{\pi }{5}\cos \frac{{2\pi }}{5}\cos \frac{{4\pi }}{5}\cos \frac{{8\pi }}{5} = $
  • A
    $1/16$
  • B
    $0$
  • C
    $-1/8$
  • $-1/16$

Answer

Correct option: D.
$-1/16$
d
(d) $\cos \frac{\pi }{5}\cos \frac{{2\pi }}{5}\cos \frac{{4\pi }}{5}\cos \frac{{8\pi }}{5}$

$ = \frac{{\sin \frac{{{2^4}\pi }}{5}}}{{{2^4}\sin \frac{\pi }{5}}} = \frac{{\sin \frac{{16\pi }}{5}}}{{16\,\sin \frac{\pi }{5}}} $

$= \frac{{\sin \,\left( {3\pi + \frac{\pi }{5}} \right)}}{{16\,\sin \frac{\pi }{5}}}$

$ = \frac{{ - \sin \frac{\pi }{5}}}{{16\,\sin \frac{\pi }{5}}} = - \frac{1}{{16}}$.
