Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\frac{-\sqrt{89}}{26 \sqrt{5}}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\((\sin \alpha+\sin \beta)^2=\left(\frac{-21}{65}\right)^2\) \(\sin ^2 \alpha+\sin ^2 \beta+2 \sin \alpha \sin \beta=\frac{441}{(65)^2}\) ...(i) \((\cos \alpha+\cos \beta)^2=\left(\frac{-2}{65}\right)^2\) \(\cos ^2 \alpha+\cos ^2 \beta+2 \cos \alpha \cos \beta=\frac{4}{(65)^2}\)…
