Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\dfrac{1-\lambda}{1+\lambda}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given \(\dfrac{\cos x}{\cos (x-2y)} = \lambda\). Applying componendo and dividendo: \(\dfrac{\cos (x-2y) + \cos x}{\cos (x-2y) - \cos x} = \dfrac{1+\lambda}{1-\lambda}\) Using the sum-to-product formulas…
