    Question

    If cos (x + y) = 12\frac{1}{2} and sin (x - y) = 0, where x and y are positive acute angle and xyx \geq y, then x and y are :​

    A.

    80o80^o and 80o80^o​​

    B.

    60o60^o and 60o60^o​​

    C.

    45o45^o  and 45o45^o​​

    D.

    30o30^o and 30o30^o​​

    Correct option is D

    Given:

    cos(x+y)=12cos(x + y) = \frac{1}{2} 

    sin(xy)=0sin(x - y) = 0 

    where x and y are positive acute angle and x ≥ y,  

    Formula Used: 

    cos600=12 sin00=0\cos 60^0 = \frac{1}{2} \\ \ \\ \sin 0^0 = 0 

    Solution:

    cos(x+y)=12cos(x + y) = \frac{1}{2} 

    cos( x + y ) = cos 60°

    x + y = 60° ......(1)

    Or sin(x - y ) = 0 

    sin ( x - y) = sin 0° 

    x  - y = 0°.......(2) 

    Solving eq. 1 and 2 we get; 

    x = y = 30°
