Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\frac{7}{25}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given \(\cos \alpha+\cos \beta=\frac{1}{3}\) \[ \Rightarrow 2 \cos \left(\frac{\alpha+\beta}{2}\right) \cos \left(\frac{\alpha-\beta}{2}\right)=\frac{1}{3}.....(i) \] \(\& \sin \alpha+\sin \beta=\frac{1}{4}\)…
