Find the value of -
2 sin [ 5 π / 12 ] × cos [ 7 π / 12 ]
Solution -
2 sin [ 5 π / 12 ] × cos [ 7 π / 12 ]
Here π radians = 180°
=> 2 sin [ 5 × 180° / 12 ] × cos [ 7 × 180° / 12 ]
=> 2 sin [ 900 ° / 12 ] × cos [ 1260° / 12 ]
=> 2 sin [ 75 ° ] × cos [ 105 ° ]
=> 2 sin [ 30° + 45 ° ] × cos [ 105 ° ]
Sin ( 30° + 45° )
=> sin30° × cos45° + sin45° × cos30°
=> [ √2 + √6 ] / 4
=> √2 ( 1 + √3 ) / 4
Substituting -
=> 2 × [ √2 + √6 / 4 ] × cos 105°
=> ½ [ √2 + √6 ] × cos 105°
Cos 105°
=> cos ( 60° + 45° )
=> cos 60° cos 45° - sin 60° sin 45°
=> √2 ( 1 - √3 ) / 4
Simplifying
=> √2 ( 1 + √3 ) / 4 × √2 ( 1 - √3 ) / 4
=> 2 [ 1 - 3 ] / 16
=> [ -2 / 4 ]
=> -½ .
Option B is the correct answer .
This is the required answer.
