[MNR 1975]
Options:
A) $ \frac{1}{2} $
B) 1
C) $ \sqrt{2} $
D) $ \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} $
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: D
Solution:
$ \cos 105{}^\circ +\sin 105{}^\circ =\cos (90{}^\circ +15{}^\circ )+\sin (90{}^\circ +15{}^\circ ) $ = $ \cos 15{}^\circ -\sin 15{}^\circ =\frac{\sqrt{3}+1}{2\sqrt{2}}-\frac{\sqrt{3}-1}{2\sqrt{2}}=\frac{2}{2\sqrt{2}}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} $ .
