The correct answer is: 3

Given,

Expression 96·cosπ33·cos2π33·cos4π33.........cos16π33

Now we know that,

cosA·cos2A·cos22A·cos23A.....·cos2n-1A=sin2nA2nsinA

Now using the above formula in given expression we get,

96·cosπ33·cos2π33·cos4π33.........cos16π33

=96×sin32π3325sinπ33

=96×sinπ-π3325sinπ33

=96×sinπ3325sinπ33 as sinπ-α=sinα

=96×132=3
