Solution

The correct option is B

sin3x + cos3x


(cosx - sinx) (1 + 4 sinx.cosx)

cosx+4sinxcos2xsinx4sin2xcosx

Option are in terms of trigonometric ratios of 3x and 2x.

We should further simplify the above given expression.By using identity sin2x+cos2x=1

= cosx+4sinx(1sin2x)sinx4(1cos2x)cosx

cosx+4sinx4sin3xsinx4cosx+4cos3x

= 3sinx+4sin3x+4cos3x3cosx

= sin3x + cos3x
