D

`3`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
`cos^(2)10^(@)-cos10^(@)cos50^(@)+cos^(2)50^(@)`
`=(1)/(2)[1+cos 20^(@)-(cos60^(@)+cos40^(@))`
`+(1+cos 100^(@))]`
`=(1)/(2)[1+cos20^(@)-(1)/(2)-cos40^(@)+1-cos80^(@)]`
`=(1)/(2)[(3)/(2)+cos 20^(@)-(2cos 60^(@)cos20^(@))]=(3)/(4)`
