Question

Solution

The correct option is B $- cos 2 θ$
${\to c}^{2} = α \to a . \to c + β \to b . \to c + γ \to c . (\to a \times \to b)$
$1 = cos θ α + cos θ β + x [\to a + \to b + \to c]$ --------(1)
$\to a . \to c = α$
$cos θ = α$ -------------(2)
$\to b . \to c = β$
$cos θ = β$ ---------------(3)
${sin}^{2} θ - {cos}^{2} θ = γ \to a \to b \to c$
$- cos θ = γ$
