    Which of the following numbers is rational?

    A) \[sin\,{{15}^{{}^\circ }}\]             

    B) \[cos\,{{15}^{{}^\circ }}\]        

    C) \[sin\text{ }{{15}^{{}^\circ }}\text{ }cos\text{ }{{15}^{{}^\circ }}\]

    D) \[sin\text{ }{{15}^{{}^\circ }}.cos\text{ }{{75}^{{}^\circ }}\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    [c] \[\because sin{{15}^{{}^\circ }}.sin{{15}^{{}^\circ }}\] \[=\frac{\sqrt{3}-1}{2\sqrt{2}}\times \frac{\sqrt{3}+1}{2\sqrt{2}}=\frac{{{(\sqrt{3})}^{2}}-{{1}^{2}}}{{{\left( 2\sqrt{2} \right)}^{2}}}=\frac{2}{4\times 2}=\frac{1}{4}\] which is ratio. Hence, option [c] is correct.
