If cosα+cosβ=a,sinα+sinβ=b and αβ=2θ, then cos3θcosθ=

a
a2+b2−2
b
a2+b2−3
c
3−a2−b2
d
a2+b2/4

detailed solution

Correct option is B

From the given relations we havea2+b2=cos2⁡α+cos2⁡β+2cos⁡αcos⁡β+sin2⁡α+sin2⁡β+2sin⁡αsin⁡β=2+2cos⁡(α−β)=2+2cos⁡2θ=4cos2⁡θNow cos⁡3θcos⁡θ=4cos3⁡θ−3cos⁡θcos⁡θ=4cos2⁡θ−3=a2+b2−3.
