Solution

The correct option is C Both 1 and 2
Solution:
We have, =⎢ ⎢ ⎢cos2α2sin2α2sin2β2cos2β2⎥ ⎥ ⎥
=cos2α2cos2β2sin2α2sin2β2
=(cosα2cosβ2+sinα2sinβ2) (cosα2cosβ2sinα2sinβ2)
=cos(αβ2)cos45 ........ [α,β] are complementry angles.
=12cos(αβ2)
Maximum value of cos(αβ2)=1
So, maximum value of 12cos(αβ2)=12
Hence, C is the correct option.
