The correct Answer is:
To solve the given problem, we need to evaluate the expression: \[ \frac{\tan 9^\circ \tan 23^\circ \tan 60^\circ \tan 67^\circ \tan 81^\circ}{\csc^2 72^\circ + \cos^2 15^\circ - \tan^2 18^\circ + \cos^2 75^\circ} \] ### Step 1: Simplifying the numerator We start with the numerator: \[ \tan 9^\circ \tan 23^\circ \tan 60^\circ \tan 67^\circ \tan 81^\circ \] Using the identity \(\tan(90^\circ - x) = \cot x\), we can rewrite: - \(\tan 67^\circ = \cot 23^\circ\) - \(\tan 81^\circ = \cot 9^\circ\) Thus, we can pair the terms: \[ \tan 9^\circ \tan 81^\circ = 1 \quad \text{and} \quad \tan 23^\circ \tan 67^\circ = 1 \] This simplifies the numerator to: \[ \tan 60^\circ = \sqrt{3} \] ### Step 2: Simplifying the denominator Now, we simplify the denominator: \[ \csc^2 72^\circ + \cos^2 15^\circ - \tan^2 18^\circ + \cos^2 75^\circ \] Using the identity \(\csc^2 x = 1 + \cot^2 x\): \[ \csc^2 72^\circ = 1 + \cot^2 72^\circ \] Also, we know that: - \(\cos^2 75^\circ = \sin^2 15^\circ\) - \(\tan^2 18^\circ = \frac{\sin^2 18^\circ}{\cos^2 18^\circ}\) Using the identity \(\sin^2 x + \cos^2 x = 1\): \[ \cos^2 15^\circ + \sin^2 75^\circ = 1 \] Thus, the denominator simplifies to: \[ 1 + \cot^2 72^\circ - \tan^2 18^\circ + 1 \] Using the identity \(\sec^2 x - \tan^2 x = 1\): \[ \cot^2 72^\circ = \frac{1}{\tan^2 72^\circ} \] This gives us: \[ 2 + 1 = 2 \] ### Step 3: Final Calculation Now we can substitute the simplified numerator and denominator back into the expression: \[ \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \] ### Conclusion Thus, the value of the expression is: \[ \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \] The correct option is (b) \(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\).
