${(\cos \alpha + \cos \beta )^2} + {(\sin \alpha + \sin \beta )^2} = $
  • $4{\cos ^2}\frac{{\alpha - \beta }}{2}$
  • B
    $4{\sin ^2}\frac{{\alpha - \beta }}{2}$
  • C
    $4{\cos ^2}\frac{{\alpha + \beta }}{2}$
  • D
    $4{\sin ^2}\frac{{\alpha + \beta }}{2}$

Answer

Correct option: A.
$4{\cos ^2}\frac{{\alpha - \beta }}{2}$
a
(a) ${(\cos \alpha + \cos \beta )^2} + {(\sin \alpha + \sin \beta )^2}$

$ = {\cos ^2}\alpha + {\cos ^2}\beta + 2\cos \alpha \cos \beta + {\sin ^2}\alpha + $

${\sin ^2}\beta + 2\sin \alpha \sin \beta $

$ = 2\{ 1 + \cos (\alpha - \beta )\}$

$= 4{\cos ^2}\left( {\frac{{\alpha - \beta }}{2}} \right)$.
