Let x,y,zx, y, z be real numbers and x≥y≥z≥π12x \geq y \geq z \geq \frac{\pi}{12}. If x+y+z=π2x+y+z=\frac{\pi}{2}, then the minimum value of cos⁡x⋅sin⁡y⋅cos⁡z\cos x \cdot \sin y \cdot \cos z is

Options

  1. A12\frac{1}{2}
  2. B14\frac{1}{4}
  3. C16\frac{1}{6}
  4. D18\frac{1}{8}

Correct answer

D. 18\frac{1}{8}

Step-by-step solution

Given x+y+z=π12andx+y+z=\frac{\pi}{12} andx \geq y \geq z \geq \quad \frac{\pi}{12}Now,TakeNow, Take\cos \mathrm{x}sin⁡y\sin y\cos \mathrm{z}..12(2cos⁡xsin⁡ycos⁡z)=12(\cosx(sin⁡(y+z)+sin⁡(y−z)))≥12(\cosx+sin⁡y+2)\begin{aligned}& \frac{1}{2}(2 \cos x \sin y \cos z)=\frac{1}{2}(\cosx(\sin (y+z)+\sin (y-z))) \\ & \geq \frac{1}{2}(\cosx+\sin y+2) \end{aligned}Here,Here,\mathrm{y}+\mathrm{z}=\frac{\pi}{2}-\mathrm{x},≥, \geq\frac{1}{2}\left(\cosx \sin \left(\frac{\pi}{2}-x\right)\right) \geq 12cos⁡2x.Ifwetakeminimumvalueof\frac{1}{2} \cos ^2 x . If we take minimum value ofy=z=\frac{\pi}{12},then, thenx=\frac{\pi}{3}So,So,\frac{1}{2} \cos ^2 \mathrm{x}=\frac{1}{2}\left(\cos \frac{\pi}{3}\right)^2=\frac{1}{2} \times \frac{1}{4}=\frac{1}{8}Therefore,MinimumvalueofthegivenexpressionisTherefore, Minimum value of the given expression is\frac{1}{8}$
