    If \[\tan \alpha \] equals the integral solution of the inequality \[4{{x}^{2}}-16x+15<0\] and \[\cos \beta \] equals to the slope of the bisector of first quadrant, then \[\sin (\alpha +\beta )\sin (\alpha -\beta )\]is equal to [Kerala (Engg.) 1993]

    A) \[\frac{3}{5}\]

    B) \[-\frac{3}{5}\]

    C) \[\frac{2}{\sqrt{5}}\]

    D) \[\frac{4}{5}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    We have \[4{{x}^{2}}-16x+15<0\,\,\Rightarrow \,\frac{3}{2}<x<\frac{5}{2}\] \[\therefore \] Integral solution of \[4{{x}^{2}}-16x+15<0\] is x = 2. Thus \[\tan \alpha =2.\] It is given that \[\cos \beta =\tan {{45}^{o}}=1\] \[\therefore \,\,\sin \,(\alpha +\beta )\,\sin \,(\alpha -\beta )={{\sin }^{2}}\alpha -{{\sin }^{2}}\beta \] \[=\frac{1}{1+{{\cot }^{2}}\alpha }-(1-{{\cos }^{2}}\beta )=\frac{1}{1+\frac{1}{4}}-0=\frac{4}{5}\].
