        Let\[\alpha ,\beta \]be such that\[\pi <\alpha -\beta <3\pi \].If \[\sin \alpha +\sin \beta =\frac{21}{65}\]and\[\cos \alpha +\cos \beta =-\frac{27}{65},\] then the value of\[\cos \left( \frac{\alpha -\beta }{2} \right)\]is

    A)  \[\frac{6}{65}\]                               

    B)  \[\frac{3}{\sqrt{130}}\]

    C)  \[-\frac{3}{\sqrt{130}}\]                              

    D)  \[-\frac{3}{65}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

                    \[\therefore \]\[{{(\sin \alpha +\sin \beta )}^{2}}+{{(\cos \alpha +\cos \beta )}^{2}}\] \[={{\left( -\frac{21}{65} \right)}^{2}}+{{\left( -\frac{27}{65} \right)}^{2}}\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[2+2\cos (\alpha -\beta )=\frac{1170}{4225}\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[4{{\cos }^{2}}\left( \frac{\alpha -\beta }{2} \right)=\frac{1170}{4225}\] \[\Rightarrow \]\[{{\cos }^{2}}\left( \frac{\alpha -\beta }{2} \right)=\frac{1170}{4\times {{(65)}^{2}}}=\frac{1170}{{{(130)}^{2}}}=\frac{9}{130}\] \[\Rightarrow \]\[\cos \left( \frac{\alpha -\beta }{2} \right)=\frac{3}{\sqrt{130}}\]
