    \[\frac{1}{4}\left[ \sqrt{3}\cos 23{}^\circ -\sin 23{}^\circ  \right]=\]

    A) \[\cos 43{}^\circ \]

    B) \[\cos 7{}^\circ \]

    C) \[\cos 53{}^\circ \]

    D) None of these

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    \[\frac{1}{4}\{\sqrt{3}\cos {{23}^{o}}-\sin {{23}^{o}}\}\] \[=\frac{1}{2}\{\cos {{30}^{o}}\cos {{23}^{o}}-\sin {{30}^{o}}\sin {{23}^{o}}\}\] \[=\frac{1}{2}\,\cos \,({{30}^{o}}+{{23}^{o}})=\frac{1}{2}\,\cos \,{{53}^{o}}.\]
