    If\[cos\alpha +cos\beta =0=sin\alpha +sin\beta ,\]then\[cos2\alpha +\] \[cos2\beta \]is equal to

    A)  \[-2\sin (\alpha +\beta )\]

    B)         \[2\cos (\alpha +\beta )\]

    C)  \[2\sin (\alpha -\beta )\]      

    D)         \[-2\cos (\alpha +\beta )\]

    E)  \[-2\cos (\alpha -\beta )\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    Given, \[cos\text{ }\alpha -cos\text{ }\beta =0\] and       \[sin\text{ }\alpha +sin\text{ }\beta =0\] Let          \[\alpha =cos\text{ }\alpha +i\text{ }sin\text{ }\alpha \] and        \[b=cos\beta +i\text{ }sin\beta \] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[a+b=0\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[{{a}^{2}}+{{b}^{2}}+2ab=0\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[{{(cos\text{ }\alpha +i\text{ }sin\text{ }\alpha )}^{2}}\] \[+{{(\cos \beta +i\sin \beta )}^{2}}+2{{e}^{-i\alpha }}{{e}^{i\beta }}=0\] \[\Rightarrow \]\[(\cos 2\alpha +\cos 2\beta )+i(\sin 2\alpha +\sin 2\beta )\] \[=-2[\cos (\alpha +\beta )+i\sin (\alpha +\beta )]\] On equating real part on both sides, we get \[\cos 2\alpha +\cos 2\beta =-2\cos (\alpha +\beta )\]
