Option 2: 9991
Option 3: 8991
Option 4: 9981
Correct Answer: 9991
Solution : 97 × 103 = (100 - 3) × (100 + 3) = 1002 - 32 = 10000 - 9 = 9991 Hence, the correct answer is 9991.
Question : Evaluate the following: $\cos \left(36^{\circ}+A\right) \cdot \cos \left(36^{\circ}-A\right)+\cos \left(54^{\circ}+A\right) \cdot \cos \left(54^{\circ}-A\right)$
Option 1: $\sin 2A$
Option 2: $\cos A$
Option 3: $\sin A$
Option 4: $\cos 2A$
Correct Answer: $\cos 2A$
Solution : $\cos (36^{\circ}+A). \cos (36^{\circ}-A)+\cos (54^{\circ}+A) .\cos (54^{\circ}-A)$ = $\cos (36^{\circ}+A) . \cos (36^{\circ}-A)+\sin [90^{\circ}-(54^{\circ}+A)] . \sin [90^{\circ}-(54^{\circ}-A )]$ = $\cos (36^{\circ}+A) \cdot \cos (36^{\circ}-A)+\sin (36^{\circ}-A) \cdot \sin (36^{\circ}+A)$ = $\cos (36^{\circ}+A-36^{\circ}+A )$ [$\because \cos(A- B) =\sin A.\sin B +\cos A. \cos B$] = $\cos
