If cos alpha + cos beta =0 = sin ...

If ` cos alpha + cos beta =0 = sin alpha + sin beta , ` then `cos 2 alpha + cos 2 beta ` is equal to

A

`-2sin(alpha+beta)`

B

`-2cos(alpha+beta)`

C

`2sin(alpha+beta)`

D

`2cos(alpha+beta)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
`cos alpha + cos beta = 0 = sin alpha + sin beta`
Squaring and adding, we get
`2+2 cos (alpha-beta)=0`
`therefore cos (alpha - beta)=-1`
`therefore cos 2alpha + cos 2beta`
`=2 cos (alpha+beta)cos (alpha-beta)`
`=-2 cos (alpha+beta)`
