A Correct answer
Explanation

This is a product of the form (4cos^2(x)-1). Using the identity 4cos^2(x)-1 = sin(3x)/sin(x), the product telescopes to sin(3^n * x) / (sin(x) * 2^n). For the given angles, the result is 1.

D Correct answer
Explanation

$\dfrac { 4 }{ 3 } { \cot }^{ 2 }30+{ \cot }^{ 2 }60-2{ csc }^{ 2 }60-\dfrac { 3 }{ 4 } { \tan }^{ 2 }30$

$\Rightarrow \dfrac { 4 }{ 3 } { \left( \sqrt { 3 }  \right)  }^{ 2 }+{ \left( \dfrac { 1 }{ \sqrt { 3 }  }  \right)  }^{ 2 }-2\times { \left( \dfrac { 2 }{ \sqrt { 3 }  }  \right)  }^{ 2 }-\dfrac { 3 }{ 4 } \times { \left( \dfrac { 1 }{ \sqrt { 3 }  }  \right)  }^{ 2 }$
$\Rightarrow 4+\dfrac { 1 }{ 3 } -\dfrac { 8 }{ 3 } -\dfrac { 1 }{ 4 } $
$\Rightarrow \dfrac { 15 }{ 4 } -\dfrac { 7 }{ 3 } $
$=\dfrac { 17 }{ 12 } $
None of these.
