    \[2\cos x-\cos 3x-\cos 5x=\] [Roorkee 1974]

    A) \[16{{\cos }^{3}}x{{\sin }^{2}}x\]

    B) \[16{{\sin }^{3}}x{{\cos }^{2}}x\]

    C) \[4{{\cos }^{3}}x{{\sin }^{2}}x\]

    D) \[4{{\sin }^{3}}x{{\cos }^{2}}x\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    \[2\,\cos x-\cos \,3x-\cos \,5x=2\cos x(1-\cos 4x)\] \[=2\cos x\,2{{\sin }^{2}}2x\]\[=4\,\cos x\,{{\sin }^{2}}\,2x=16\,{{\sin }^{2}}x\,{{\cos }^{3}}x\].
