  1. A \((\cos \theta)^{1 / 2} \leq \cos \frac{\theta}{2}\)
  2. B \((\cos \theta)^{3 / 4} \geq \cos \frac{3 \theta}{4}\)
  3. C \(\cos \frac{5 \theta}{6} \geq(\cos \theta)^{5 / 6}\)
  4. D \(\cos \frac{70}{8} \leq(\cos \theta)^{7 / 8}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\cos \frac{5 \theta}{6} \geq(\cos \theta)^{5 / 6}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(0 \frac{\theta}{2},\) then \(\cos \theta \leq \cos \frac{\theta}{2}\) \(\therefore \quad \sqrt{\cos \theta} \leq \cos \frac{\theta}{2} \quad\) correct (b) When \(0>\frac{30}{4},\) then \(\cos \theta \leq \cos \frac{30}{4}\)…
