I think you did something wrong in the calculation of value of C and also, it's rational!

I did not compute the actual value of C . I computed 2 C which is easier to compute and proved 2 C as rational. Ultimately C is also rational , since 2 is rational.
@Nihar Mahajan Please rephrase your solution. You also proved C to be irrational :P

Oops , I just used "copy paste" and forgot to edit it to rational. Thanks for telling. :)
C is rational mate.

That was typing mistake!

No problem mate, I upvoted your solution.

@Kushagra Sahni – Me too. Tomorrow is Teacher's Day and I think you would be teaching lower grade students (I am going to teach :P) xD

@Nihar Mahajan – No I never have school on Saturday.
C must be = 1/4

I computed 2 C which much easier than to compute C . And yes C = 4 1 ⇒ 2 C = 2 1 which is what I got.
A = s i n 1 5 : A = 4 6 − 2 B = c o s 1 5 ⟹ 4 6 + 2 C = ( s i n 1 5 ) ∗ ( c o s 1 5 ) ⟹ 4 1 D = ( s i n 1 5 ) ∗ ( c o s 7 5 ) ⟹ 4 2 − 3 ∴ o n l y C i s r a t i o n a l , a l l o t h e r t h r e e o f t h e m a r e i r r a t i o n a l

A ) cos 3 0 ∘ = 1 − 2 sin 2 1 5 ∘ ⇒ 2 3 = 1 − 2 sin 2 1 5 ∘ ⇒ 3 = 2 − 4 sin 2 1 5 ∘ ⇒ sin 2 1 5 ∘ = 4 2 − 3 ⇒ sin 1 5 ∘ i s i r r a t i o n a l
B ) sin 2 1 5 ∘ = 4 2 − 3 ⇒ cos 2 1 5 ∘ = 1 − 4 2 − 3 ⇒ cos 1 5 ∘ i s i r r a t i o n a l
C ) 2 sin 1 5 ∘ cos 1 5 ∘ = sin 3 0 ∘ = 2 1 ⇒ sin 1 5 ∘ cos 1 5 ∘ i s r a t i o n a l
D ) sin 1 5 ∘ cos 7 5 ∘ = sin 1 5 ∘ sin 1 5 ∘ = sin 2 1 5 ∘ = 4 2 − 3 ⇒ sin 1 5 ∘ cos 7 5 ∘ i s i r r a t i o n a l
Thus , only C is rational.
