Correct Answer: $\frac{(\sqrt{3}-1)}{4}$


Solution : $\cos 45° \sin 15°$
$=\frac{1}{2}[2\cos 45° \sin 15°]$
We know, $2\cos A\sin B=\sin(A+B)-\sin(A-B)$
$=\frac{1}{2}[\sin(45°+15°)-\sin(45°-15°)]$
$=\frac{1}{2}[\sin(60°)-\sin(30°)]$
$=\frac{1}{2}×[\frac{\sqrt3}{2}-\frac{1}{2}]$
$=\frac{1}{2}×\frac{\sqrt{3}−1}{2}$
$=\frac{\sqrt3-1}{4}$
Hence, the correct answer is $\frac{\sqrt3-1}{4}$.
