If sin⁡(π18)sin⁡(5π18)sin⁡(7π18)=K\sin\left(\dfrac{\pi}{18}\right) \sin\left(\dfrac{5\pi}{18}\right) \sin\left(\dfrac{7\pi}{18}\right) = K, then the value of sin⁡(10Kπ3)\sin\left(\dfrac{10K\pi}{3}\right) is :

Options

  1. A3+122\dfrac{\sqrt{3} + 1}{2\sqrt{2}}
  2. B3−12\dfrac{\sqrt{3} - 1}{\sqrt{2}}
  3. C32\dfrac{\sqrt{3}}{2}
  4. D12\dfrac{1}{2}

Correct answer

A. 3+122\dfrac{\sqrt{3} + 1}{2\sqrt{2}}

Step-by-step solution

Given K=sin⁡(π18)sin⁡(5π18)sin⁡(7π18)K = \sin\left(\dfrac{\pi}{18}\right) \sin\left(\dfrac{5\pi}{18}\right) \sin\left(\dfrac{7\pi}{18}\right)

Using the standard trigonometric identity sin⁡(θ)sin⁡(π3−θ)sin⁡(π3+θ)=14sin⁡(3θ)\sin(\theta) \sin\left(\dfrac{\pi}{3} - \theta\right) \sin\left(\dfrac{\pi}{3} + \theta\right) = \dfrac{1}{4} \sin(3\theta) with θ=π18\theta = \dfrac{\pi}{18}:

π3−θ=6π18−π18=5π18\dfrac{\pi}{3} - \theta = \dfrac{6\pi}{18} - \dfrac{\pi}{18} = \dfrac{5\pi}{18}

π3+θ=6π18+π18=7π18\dfrac{\pi}{3} + \theta = \dfrac{6\pi}{18} + \dfrac{\pi}{18} = \dfrac{7\pi}{18}

Applying the identity, we get:

K=14sin⁡(3×π18)=14sin⁡(π6)K = \dfrac{1}{4} \sin\left(3 \times \dfrac{\pi}{18}\right) = \dfrac{1}{4} \sin\left(\dfrac{\pi}{6}\right)

K=14×12=18K = \dfrac{1}{4} \times \dfrac{1}{2} = \dfrac{1}{8}

We need to find the value of sin⁡(10Kπ3)\sin\left(\dfrac{10K\pi}{3}\right). Substituting K=18K = \dfrac{1}{8}:

sin⁡(10×18×π3)=sin⁡(10π24)=sin⁡(5π12)\sin\left(\dfrac{10 \times \dfrac{1}{8} \times \pi}{3}\right) = \sin\left(\dfrac{10\pi}{24}\right) = \sin\left(\dfrac{5\pi}{12}\right)

Expanding 5π12\dfrac{5\pi}{12} as π4+π6\dfrac{\pi}{4} + \dfrac{\pi}{6}:

sin⁡(5π12)=sin⁡(π4+π6)\sin\left(\dfrac{5\pi}{12}\right) = \sin\left(\dfrac{\pi}{4} + \dfrac{\pi}{6}\right)

sin⁡(5π12)=sin⁡(π4)cos⁡(π6)+cos⁡(π4)sin⁡(π6)\sin\left(\dfrac{5\pi}{12}\right) = \sin\left(\dfrac{\pi}{4}\right)\cos\left(\dfrac{\pi}{6}\right) + \cos\left(\dfrac{\pi}{4}\right)\sin\left(\dfrac{\pi}{6}\right)

sin⁡(5π12)=(12)(32)+(12)(12)=3+122\sin\left(\dfrac{5\pi}{12}\right) = \left(\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\right)\left(\dfrac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\right) + \left(\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\right)\left(\dfrac{1}{2}\right) = \dfrac{\sqrt{3} + 1}{2\sqrt{2}}

Answer: 3+122\dfrac{\sqrt{3} + 1}{2\sqrt{2}}
