    The expression \[{{\cos }^{2}}(A-B)+co{{s}^{2}}B-2\cos (A-B)cos\,A\,cos\,B\]is independent of

    A)  A                           

    B)         B

    C)  both A and B     

    D)         neither A nor B

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    \[{{\cos }^{2}}(A-B)+oc{{s}^{2}}B-2\cos (A-B)cos\,A\,cos\,B\] \[={{\cos }^{2}}(A-B)+co{{s}^{2}}B-\cos (A-B)\] \[[cos(A+B)+cos(A-B)]\]                 \[={{\cos }^{2}}B-\cos (A-B)cos(A+B)\]                 \[={{\cos }^{2}}B-\frac{1}{2}[cos2A+cos2B]\] \[={{\cos }^{2}}B-\frac{1}{2}[2co{{s}^{2}}B-1+cos2A]\] \[=\frac{1}{2}-\frac{1}{2}\cos 2A\] \[\frac{1}{2}-\frac{1}{2}(2co{{s}^{2}}A-1)\] \[=1-{{\cos }^{2}}A={{\sin }^{2}}A\] Hence, it is independent of B.
