Solution

This statement is True.

Explanation:

L.H.S. `cos  (2pi)/15 cos  (4pi)/15 cos  (8pi)/15 cos  (16pi)/15 = 1/16`

= cos24°.cos48°.cos96°.cos192°

= `1/(16  sin 24^circ) [(2 sin 24^circ cos 24^circ)(2 cos 48^circ)(2 cos 96^circ)(2 cos 192^circ)]`

= `1/(16  sin24^circ) [sin 48^circ . 2 cos48^circ (2 cos 96^circ)(2 cos192^circ)]`

  `1/(16  sin 24^circ) [2 sin 48^circ cos 48^circ (2 cos 96^circ)(2 cos 192^circ)]`

= `1/(16  sin24^circ) [sin 96^circ (2 cos96^circ)(2 cos 192^circ)]`

= `1/(16  sin 24^circ) [2 sin 96^circ . cos 96^circ (2 cos 192^circ)]`

= `1/(16  sin 24^circ) 2 sin 192^circ cos 192^circ`

= `1/(16  sin 24^circ) sin 384^circ`

= `1/(16  sin 24^circ) sin(360^circ + 24^circ)`

= `1/(16  sin 24^circ) xx sin 24^circ`  .......[∵ sin(360° + θ) = sin θ]

= `1/16` R.H.S.

Let the angles of the quadrilateral be \[\left( a - 3d \right)^\circ, \left( a - d \right)^\circ, \left( a + d \right)^\circ \text{ and }\left( a + 3d \right)^\circ\]
We know: \[a - 3d + a - d + a + d + a - 2d = 360\]
\[ \Rightarrow 4a = 360\]
\[ \Rightarrow a = 90\]
We have:
Greatest angle = 120°
Now,
\[a + 3d = 120\]
\[ \Rightarrow 90 + 3d = 120\]
\[ \Rightarrow 3d = 30\]
\[ \Rightarrow d = 10\]
Hence,
\[\left( a - 3d \right)^\circ, \left( a - d \right)^\circ, \left( a + d \right)^\circ\text{ and }\left( a + 3d \right)^\circ\] are

\[60^\circ, 80^\circ, 100^\circ\text{ and }120^\circ\], respectively.
