Solution

We need to find the value of

364 cos2 9-1 4 cos2 27-1 4 cos2 81-1 4 cos2 243-1 

=364 cos29-1 4 sin29-1 4 cos227-14 sin227-1

=3642cos9sin9°2-4cos29°-4sin29°+1 42sin27cos9°2-4cos227°-4sin227°+1

=364 sin218-4 +1 4 sin254-4+1

=364 sin218-3 4 sin254-3
=365-124-3 5+124-3
=366-25-1246+25-124
=-36252-3616=36

Hence this is the correct option.
