Correct Answer: $\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$


Solution : $\tan^{2}\frac{\pi }{4}-\cos^{2}\frac{\pi }{3}=x\sin\frac{\pi }{4}\cos\frac{\pi }{4}\tan\frac{\pi }{3}$
Taking L.H.S.
$⇒\tan^{2}\frac{\pi}{4} - \cos^{2}\frac{\pi}{3} = 1 - \left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^{2} = 1 - \frac{1}{4} = \frac{3}{4}$
Taking R.H.S.
$⇒x\sin\frac{\pi}{4}\cos\frac{\pi}{4}\tan\frac{\pi}{3} = x \times \frac{1}{2} \times\sqrt{3} = \frac{x\sqrt{3}}{2}$
$⇒\frac{3}{4} = \frac{x\sqrt{3}}{2}$
$⇒x = \frac{3}{4} \times \frac{2}{\sqrt{3}} = \frac{3\sqrt{3}}{6} = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$
Hence, the correct answer is $\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$.
