The value of `cos^2 10^0-cos10^0cos50^0+cos^2 50^0` is equal to

A

`4/3`

B

`1/3`

C

`3/4`

D

`3`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

`cos^2 10^@ - cos10^@cos50^@ +cos^2 50^@`
`=1/2(2cos^2 10^@ - 2cos10^@cos50^@ +2cos^2 50^@)`
`=1/2(1+cos20^@ - (cos60^@+cos40^@)+1+cos100^@)`
`=1/2(2+cos20^@ - 1/2 - cos40^@ +cos(180^@-80^@) )`
`=1/2(3/2+cos20^@ -(cos80^@+cos40^@))`
`=1/2(3/2+cos20^@ - (2cos60^@cos20^@))`
`=1/2(3/2+cos20^@ - (2(1/2)cos20^@))`
`=1/2(3/2+cos20^@ - cos 20^@)`
