B) $ \sqrt{\frac{1-\cos 30{}^\circ }{2}} $

C) $ \pm \sqrt{\frac{1+\cos 30{}^\circ }{2}} $

D) $ \pm \sqrt{\frac{1-\cos 30{}^\circ }{2}} $

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: A

Solution:

$ \cos 15^{o}=\sqrt{\frac{1+\cos (2\times 15^{o})}{2}}=\sqrt{\frac{1+\cos 30^{o}}{2}} $ $ ( \because \cos 15^{o}>0 ) $ .
