Correct answer: B

  1. We need to find cot⁡(π24)=cot⁡7.5∘.\cot\left(\frac{\pi}{24}\right)=\cot 7.5^\circ.cot(24π​)=cot7.5∘.

  2. Use the half-angle identity: cot⁡θ2=csc⁡θ+cot⁡θ.\cot\frac{\theta}{2}=\csc\theta+\cot\theta.cot2θ​=cscθ+cotθ. Take θ=π12=15∘\theta=\frac{\pi}{12}=15^\circθ=12π​=15∘. Then cot⁡(π24)=csc⁡(π12)+cot⁡(π12).\cot\left(\frac{\pi}{24}\right)=\csc\left(\frac{\pi}{12}\right)+\cot\left(\frac{\pi}{12}\right).cot(24π​)=csc(12π​)+cot(12π​).

So we need sin⁡15∘\sin 15^\circsin15∘ and cos⁡15∘\cos 15^\circcos15∘.

  1. Compute sin⁡15∘\sin 15^\circsin15∘ and cos⁡15∘\cos 15^\circcos15∘ using angle subtraction: sin⁡15∘=sin⁡(45∘−30∘)\sin 15^\circ=\sin(45^\circ-30^\circ)sin15∘=sin(45∘−30∘) =sin⁡45∘cos⁡30∘−cos⁡45∘sin⁡30∘=\sin45^\circ\cos30^\circ-\cos45^\circ\sin30^\circ=sin45∘cos30∘−cos45∘sin30∘ =12⋅32−12⋅12=\frac{1}{\sqrt2}\cdot\frac{\sqrt3}{2}-\frac{1}{\sqrt2}\cdot\frac12=2​1​⋅23​​−2​1​⋅21​ =3−122.=\frac{\sqrt3-1}{2\sqrt2}.=22​3​−1​.

Similarly, cos⁡15∘=cos⁡(45∘−30∘)\cos 15^\circ=\cos(45^\circ-30^\circ)cos15∘=cos(45∘−30∘) =cos⁡45∘cos⁡30∘+sin⁡45∘sin⁡30∘=\cos45^\circ\cos30^\circ+\sin45^\circ\sin30^\circ=cos45∘cos30∘+sin45∘sin30∘ =12⋅32+12⋅12=\frac{1}{\sqrt2}\cdot\frac{\sqrt3}{2}+\frac{1}{\sqrt2}\cdot\frac12=2​1​⋅23​​+2​1​⋅21​ =3+122.=\frac{\sqrt3+1}{2\sqrt2}.=22​3​+1​.

  1. Now compute csc⁡15∘\csc 15^\circcsc15∘: csc⁡15∘=1sin⁡15∘=223−1.\csc 15^\circ=\frac{1}{\sin15^\circ}=\frac{2\sqrt2}{\sqrt3-1}.csc15∘=sin15∘1​=3​−122​​. Rationalizing, csc⁡15∘=22(3+1)3−1=2(3+1)=6+2.\csc 15^\circ=\frac{2\sqrt2(\sqrt3+1)}{3-1}=\sqrt2(\sqrt3+1)=\sqrt6+\sqrt2.csc15∘=3−122​(3​+1)​=2​(3​+1)=6​+2​.

  2. Compute cot⁡15∘\cot 15^\circcot15∘: cot⁡15∘=cos⁡15∘sin⁡15∘=3+13−1.\cot15^\circ=\frac{\cos15^\circ}{\sin15^\circ}=\frac{\sqrt3+1}{\sqrt3-1}.cot15∘=sin15∘cos15∘​=3​−13​+1​. Rationalizing, cot⁡15∘=(3+1)23−1\cot15^\circ=\frac{(\sqrt3+1)^2}{3-1}cot15∘=3−1(3​+1)2​ =3+1+232=2+3.=\frac{3+1+2\sqrt3}{2}=2+\sqrt3.=23+1+23​​=2+3​.

  3. Therefore, cot⁡(π24)=csc⁡15∘+cot⁡15∘\cot\left(\frac{\pi}{24}\right)=\csc15^\circ+\cot15^\circcot(24π​)=csc15∘+cot15∘ =(6+2)+(2+3)=(\sqrt6+\sqrt2)+(2+\sqrt3)=(6​+2​)+(2+3​) =2+3+2+6.=\sqrt2+\sqrt3+2+\sqrt6.=2​+3​+2+6​.

  4. Compare with options:

  • A: 2+3+2−6\sqrt 2 + \sqrt 3 + 2 - \sqrt 62​+3​+2−6​
  • B: 2+3+2+6\sqrt 2 + \sqrt 3 + 2 + \sqrt 62​+3​+2+6​
  • C: 2−3−2+6\sqrt 2 - \sqrt 3 - 2 + \sqrt 62​−3​−2+6​
  • D: 32−3−63\sqrt 2 - \sqrt 3 - \sqrt 632​−3​−6​

Hence the correct option is B.\boxed{\text{B}}.B​.
