    If \[\cos (A-B)=\frac{3}{5}\] and \[\tan A\tan B=2,\] then [MP PET 1997]

    A) \[\cos A\cos B=\frac{1}{5}\]

    B) \[\sin A\sin B=-\frac{2}{5}\]

    C) \[\cos A\cos B=-\frac{1}{5}\]

    D) \[\sin A\sin B=-\frac{1}{5}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    \[\cos \,(A-B)=\frac{3}{5}\] \ \[5\,\,\cos A\,\,\cos B+5\,\,\sin A\,\,\sin B=3\] ?..(i) From 2nd relation, \[\sin A\sin B=2\cos A\cos B\]                  .....(ii) \[\therefore \] \[\cos A\cos B=\frac{1}{5}\] and \[5\,\left( \frac{1}{2}+1 \right)\,\sin A\,\,\sin B=3\].
