    If \[f(x)=\cos (\log x)\], then the value of \[f(x).f(4)-\frac{1}{2}\left[ f\left( \frac{x}{4} \right)+f(4x) \right]\] [Kurukshetra CEE 1998]

    A)            1

    B)            ?1

    C)            0

    D)            \[\pm 1\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

               \[f(x)=\cos \,(\log x)\]            Now let \[y=f(x)\,\,.\,\,f(4)-\frac{1}{2}\,\left[ f\left( \frac{x}{4} \right)+f(4x) \right]\]            Þ \[y=\cos \,(\log x).\cos \,(\log 4)-\frac{1}{2}\,\left[ \cos \,\log \,\left( \frac{x}{4} \right)+\cos \,(\log 4x) \right]\]            Þ \[y=\cos \,(\log x)\,\cos \,(\log 4)\]                    \[-\frac{1}{2}\,\left[ \cos \,(\log x-\log 4)+\cos \,(\log x+\log 4) \right]\]            Þ \[y=\cos \,(\log x)\,\cos \,(\log 4)-\frac{1}{2}\,\left[ 2\,\cos \,(\log x)\,\cos \,(\log 4) \right]\]            Þ \[y=0\].
