Q47 / 160 · AP EAMCET 2011 · Mathematics

If $1^{\circ}=\alpha$ radians, then the approximate value of $\cos \left(60^{\circ} 1^{\prime}\right)$ is

  • A
    $\frac{1}{2}+\frac{\alpha \sqrt{3}}{120}$
  • B
    $\frac{1}{2}-\frac{\alpha}{120}$
  • Correct answer
    C
    $\frac{1}{2}-\frac{\alpha \sqrt{3}}{120}$
  • D
    $\frac{1}{2}+\frac{\alpha}{120}$

Solution

$\therefore \cos \left(60^{\circ} 1^{\prime}\right)=\frac{1}{2}-\frac{\alpha \sqrt{3}}{120}$

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'C'.
