Which of the following options is the only correct combination ?

• A. (II)(i)(Q)
• B. (II)(iii)(P)
• C. (III)(i)(Q)
• D. (III)(ii)(S)

Answer 1

The correct option is A (II)(i)(Q)

(A) $\left(I\right)1+{\cos }^2(\alpha +\beta )-{\sin }^2(\alpha -\beta )-\cos \left(2\alpha \right)\cos \left(2\beta \right)=1+\cos 2\alpha \cos 2\beta -\cos 2\alpha \cos 2\beta =1$

$\left(II\right){\cos }^2\alpha +{\cos }^2(\alpha +\beta )-\cos (\alpha +\beta )\left[\cos \right(\alpha +\beta )+\cos (\alpha -\beta \left)\right]={\cos }^2\alpha -[{\cos }^2\alpha -{\sin }^2\beta ]={\sin }^2\beta$

$\left(III\right)\frac{({\sin }^2\alpha -{\sin }^2\beta ){\cos }^2\alpha {\sin }^2\beta }{{\cos }^2\alpha {\sin }^2\beta -{\sin }^2\alpha {\cos }^2\beta }$

$=\frac{({\sin }^2\alpha -{\sin }^2\beta ){\cos }^2\alpha {\sin }^2\beta }{\sin (\alpha +\beta )\sin (\beta -\alpha )}$

$=-{\cos }^2\alpha {\sin }^2\beta$

$\left(IV\right)2{\sin }^2\beta +2\cos (\alpha +\beta )\left[\cos \right(\alpha -\beta )-\cos (\alpha +\beta \left)\right]+2{\cos }^2(\alpha +\beta )-1$

$=2\left({\sin }^2\beta \right)-12{\cos }^2(\alpha +\beta )+2{\cos }^2(\alpha +\beta )+2({\cos }^2\alpha -{\sin }^2\beta )$

$=2{\cos }^2\alpha -1=\cos 2\alpha$
