Correct answer: C

  1. Let P=2sin⁡(π8)sin⁡(2π8)sin⁡(3π8)sin⁡(5π8)sin⁡(6π8)sin⁡(7π8).P=2\sin\left(\frac{\pi}{8}\right)\sin\left(\frac{2\pi}{8}\right)\sin\left(\frac{3\pi}{8}\right)\sin\left(\frac{5\pi}{8}\right)\sin\left(\frac{6\pi}{8}\right)\sin\left(\frac{7\pi}{8}\right).P=2sin(8π​)sin(82π​)sin(83π​)sin(85π​)sin(86π​)sin(87π​).

  2. Simplify the angles: P=2sin⁡(π8)sin⁡(π4)sin⁡(3π8)sin⁡(5π8)sin⁡(3π4)sin⁡(7π8).P=2\sin\left(\frac{\pi}{8}\right)\sin\left(\frac{\pi}{4}\right)\sin\left(\frac{3\pi}{8}\right)\sin\left(\frac{5\pi}{8}\right)\sin\left(\frac{3\pi}{4}\right)\sin\left(\frac{7\pi}{8}\right).P=2sin(8π​)sin(4π​)sin(83π​)sin(85π​)sin(43π​)sin(87π​).

  3. Use the identity sin⁡(π−θ)=sin⁡θ.\sin(\pi-\theta)=\sin\theta.sin(π−θ)=sinθ. Hence, sin⁡(7π8)=sin⁡(π8),sin⁡(5π8)=sin⁡(3π8),sin⁡(3π4)=sin⁡(π4).\sin\left(\frac{7\pi}{8}\right)=\sin\left(\frac\pi8\right),\quad \sin\left(\frac{5\pi}{8}\right)=\sin\left(\frac{3\pi}{8}\right),\quad \sin\left(\frac{3\pi}{4}\right)=\sin\left(\frac\pi4\right).sin(87π​)=sin(8π​),sin(85π​)=sin(83π​),sin(43π​)=sin(4π​). So, P=2[sin⁡(π8)sin⁡(π4)sin⁡(3π8)]2.P=2\left[\sin\left(\frac\pi8\right)\sin\left(\frac\pi4\right)\sin\left(\frac{3\pi}{8}\right)\right]^2.P=2[sin(8π​)sin(4π​)sin(83π​)]2.

  4. Now use the standard identity sin⁡(π8)sin⁡(3π8)=122.\sin\left(\frac\pi8\right)\sin\left(\frac{3\pi}{8}\right)=\frac{1}{2\sqrt2}.sin(8π​)sin(83π​)=22​1​. Also, sin⁡(π4)=12.\sin\left(\frac\pi4\right)=\frac{1}{\sqrt2}.sin(4π​)=2​1​. Therefore, sin⁡(π8)sin⁡(π4)sin⁡(3π8)=122⋅12=14.\sin\left(\frac\pi8\right)\sin\left(\frac\pi4\right)\sin\left(\frac{3\pi}{8}\right)=\frac{1}{2\sqrt2}\cdot \frac{1}{\sqrt2}=\frac14.sin(8π​)sin(4π​)sin(83π​)=22​1​⋅2​1​=41​.

  5. Hence, P=2(14)2=2⋅116=18.P=2\left(\frac14\right)^2=2\cdot \frac{1}{16}=\frac18.P=2(41​)2=2⋅161​=81​.

  6. Therefore the correct option is 18\boxed{\frac18}81​​ which is option C.
