Detailed Solution

Given that, sin 18 ° cos 72 °  .
We know that, the complementary formula for sinθ   is:
sin( 90 ° θ)=cosθ  
Convert sinθ   into cosθ   trigonometric function.
sin 18 ° cos 72 ° = sin( 90 ° 72 ° ) cos 72 °   Apply complementary angle formula,
  sin 18 ° cos 72 ° = cos 72 ° cos 72 ° sin 18 ° cos 72 ° =1   Thus, sin 18 ° cos 72 ° =1  .
Hence, option 3) is correct.
