Solution

L.H.S. = `cos  (2pi)/15 cos  (4pi)/15cos  (8pi)/15cos  (16pi)/15`

= `((2sin  (2pi)/15*cos  (2pi)/15)*cos  (4pi)/15*cos  (8pi)/15*cos  (16pi)/15)/(2sin  (2pi)/15)`

= `(sin  (4pi)/15*cos  (4pi)/15*cos  (8pi)/15*cos  (16pi)/15)/(2sin  (2pi)/15)`

= `((2sin  (4pi)/15*cos  (4pi)/15)cos  (8pi)/15*cos  (16pi)/15)/(4sin  (2pi)/15)`

= `(sin  (8pi)/15*cos  (8pi)/15*cos  (16pi)/15)/(4sin  (2pi)/15)`

= `((2sin  (8pi)/15*cos  (8pi)/15)cos  (16pi)/15)/(8sin  (2pi)/15)`

= `(sin  (16pi)/15*cos  (16pi)/15)/(8sin  (2pi)/15)`

= `(2sin  (16pi)/15*cos  (16pi)/15)/(16sin  (2pi)/15)`

= `(sin  (32pi)/15)/(16sin  (2pi)/15)`

= `(sin(2pi + (2pi)/15))/(16sin  (2pi)/15)`

= `(sin  (2pi)/15)/(16sin  (2pi)/15)`

= `1/16`

= R.H.S.
