Detailed Solution

Given that,
cos2x=cos 60 ° cos 30 ° +sin 60 ° sin 30 °   Then on substituting the values of the trigonometric functions we get,
cos2x= 1 2 3 2 + 3 2 1 2   cos2x= 3 4 + 3 4   cos2x=  3 2   cos2x=cos 30 °   2x= 30 °   x= 15 °  
Thus the value will be 15 °  .
Therefore the correct option is 2.
