MCQ
$\cos 20^\circ \cos 40^\circ \cos 80^\circ = $
  • A
    $1/2$
  • B
    $1/4$
  • C
    $1/6$
  • $1/8$

Answer

Correct option: D.
$1/8$
d
(d) $\cos {20^o}\cos {40^o}\cos {80^o} = \frac{{\sin {2^3}{{20}^o}}}{{{2^3}\sin {{20}^o}}}$

$ = \frac{{\sin {{160}^o}}}{{8\sin {{20}^o}}} = \frac{1}{8}$.
