Correct Answer: $\frac{1}{2}$
Solution :
$\sin (\theta +18^{\circ})=\cos 60^{\circ}$
We know that $\cos (90^{\circ}-\theta)=\sin\theta$
$⇒\sin (\theta +18^{\circ})=\cos(90^{\circ}-30^{\circ})$
$⇒\sin (\theta +18^{\circ})=\sin30^{\circ}$
$⇒\theta +18^{\circ}=30^{\circ}$
$⇒\theta=12^{\circ}$
$\therefore \cos 5\theta=\cos 5×12^{\circ}=\cos 60^{\circ}=\frac{1}{2}$
Hence, the correct answer is $\frac{1}{2}$.
