    The Value of \[\cos \left( \frac{1}{2}{{\cos }^{-1}}\frac{1}{8} \right)\] is equal to

    A) \[\frac{3}{4}\]                   

    B)         \[-\frac{3}{4}\]                

    C)  \[\frac{1}{16}\]               

    D)         \[\frac{1}{4}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    \[\cos \left( \frac{1}{2}{{\cos }^{-1}}\frac{1}{8} \right)=x\]            (let) \[\Rightarrow \]\[{{\cos }^{-1}}\frac{1}{8}=2{{\cos }^{-1}}x\] \[={{\cos }^{-1}}(2{{x}^{2}}-1)\] \[\Rightarrow \]\[\frac{1}{8}=2{{x}^{2}}-1\] \[\Rightarrow \]\[2{{x}^{2}}=\frac{1}{8}+1=\frac{9}{8}\] \[\Rightarrow \]\[{{x}^{2}}=\frac{9}{16}\] \[\Rightarrow \]\[x=\sqrt{\frac{9}{16}}=\frac{3}{4}\]       \[[\because \,0\le x\le 1]\]
