Solution

The correct option is C $\frac{2 a b}{a^{2} + b^{2}}$
$a=sin\alpha +sin\beta$
$b=cos\alpha +cos\beta$
$a^{2}+b^{2}=4cos^{2}\frac{\alpha -\beta}{2}$
$(a+b)^{2}=4cos^{2}\frac{\alpha-\beta}{2} + 8.cos^{2}\frac{\alpha-\beta}{2}.sin\frac{\alpha+\beta}{2}.cos\frac{\alpha-\beta}{2}$
$a^{2}+b^{2}+2ab=4cos^{2}\frac{\alpha-\beta}{2} + 8.cos^{2}\frac{\alpha-\beta}{2}.sin\frac{\alpha+\beta}{2}.cos\frac{\alpha-\beta}{2}$
$4cos^{2}\frac{\alpha-\beta}{2}+2ab=4cos^{2}\frac{\alpha-\beta}{2} + 8.cos^{2}\frac{\alpha-\beta}{2}.sin\frac{\alpha+\beta}{2}.cos\frac{\alpha-\beta}{2}$
$2ab=24.cos^{2}\frac{\alpha-\beta}{2}.sin\frac{\alpha+\beta}{2}.cos\frac{\alpha-\beta}{2}$
$2ab=(a^{2}+b^{2})2sin\frac{\alpha+\beta}{2}.cos\frac{\alpha-\beta}{2}$
$\frac{2ab}{a^{2}+b^{2}}=2sin\frac{\alpha+\beta}{2}.cos\frac{\alpha-\beta}{2}$
$\frac{2ab}{a^{2}+b^{2}}=sin(\alpha +\beta )$
hence the value of $sin(\alpha +\beta )=\frac{2ab}{a^{2}+b^{2}}$
