    If\[{{x}_{n}}=\cos \left( \frac{\pi }{{{2}^{n}}}+i\sin \frac{\pi }{{{2}^{n}}} \right),n=1,2,3.....\]then the value\[{{x}_{1}}.{{x}_{2}}.{{x}_{3}}.....\infty \]is

    A)  1               

    B)  \[-1\]

    C)  0               

    D)  None of these

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

     \[{{x}_{n}}=\left( \cos \frac{\pi }{{{2}^{n}}}+i\sin \frac{\pi }{{{2}^{n}}} \right)={{e}^{i\pi /{{2}^{n}}}}\] Put   \[n=1,2,3,....\] \[{{x}_{1}}={{e}^{i\pi /2}},{{x}_{2}}={{e}^{i\pi /{{2}^{2}}}},{{x}_{3}}={{e}^{i\pi /{{2}^{3}}}},...........\] Now, \[{{x}_{1}}.{{x}_{2}}.{{x}_{3}}.....={{e}^{i\pi /{{2}^{2}}}}.{{e}^{i\pi /{{2}^{2}}}}.{{e}^{i\pi /{{2}^{3}}}},.....\] \[={{e}^{i\pi \left( \frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{{{2}^{2}}}+\frac{1}{{{2}^{3}}}+....\infty  \right)}}\] \[={{e}^{i\pi \left( \frac{1/2}{1-1/2} \right)}}\] \[={{e}^{i\pi (1)}}\] \[=\cos \pi +i\sin \theta =-1\]
