Solution

The correct option is B Ac12,Ac13,Ac25 are all finite sets
Acλ is the set of natural numbers such that :
sin(n+1)sin(n)λ
∣ ∣cos(n+1+n2)sin(n+1n2)∣ ∣λ2
∣ ∣cos(n+1+n2)sin(12(n+1+n))∣ ∣λ2

Let θ=n+1+n. θ2+1.

For λ=12,
cos(θ2)sin(12θ)14 ....equation (1)
sin(12θ) is a decreasing function of θ. sin(12θ)(0,sin(12(2+1))]
If sin(12θ)<14 then no solution exists to equation (1) and the set is finite.
Otherwise let θ=θ0 such that sin(12θ0)=14. Thus, if solutions to equation (1) exist, they must satisfy 2+1θθ0.
Thus the set is finite.

Similar arguments are made for other values of λ.
