    \[1+\cos 2x+\cos 4x+\cos 6x=\] [Roorkee 1974]

    A) \[2\cos x\cos 2x\cos 3x\]

    B) \[4\sin x\,\cos 2x\cos 3x\]

    C) \[4\cos x\cos 2x\cos 3x\]

    D) None of these

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    \[1+\cos \,\,2x+\cos \,4x+\cos \,6x\] \[=(1+\cos \,6x)+(\cos \,2x+\cos \,4x)\] \[=2\,{{\cos }^{2}}3x+2\,\cos \,3x\,\cos x=2\,\cos \,3x\,(\cos \,3x+\cos \,x)\] \[=4\,\cos x\,\cos \,2x\,\cos \,3x\].
