If cos (α + β) = 0, then sin (α – β) can be reduced to
If cos (α + β) = 0, then sin (α – β) can be reduced to

(A) cos β (B) cos 2β (C) sin α (D) sin 2α

(B) cos 2β

As indicated by the inquiry,

    \[cos\left( \alpha +\beta  \right)\text{ }=\text{ }0\]

Since, cos 90° = 0

We can compose,

    \[cos\left( \alpha +\beta  \right)=\text{ }cos\text{ }90{}^\circ \]

By contrasting cosine condition on L.H.S and R.H.S,

We get,

    \[\left( \alpha +\beta  \right)=\text{ }90{}^\circ \]

α = 90°-β

Presently we need to lessen sin (α – β ),

In this way, we take,

    \[sin\left( \alpha -\beta  \right)\text{ }=\text{ }sin\left( 90{}^\circ -\beta -\beta  \right)\text{ }=\text{ }sin\left( 90{}^\circ -2\beta  \right)\]

    \[sin\left( 90{}^\circ -\theta  \right)\text{ }=\text{ }cos\text{ }\theta \]

In this way,

    \[sin\left( 90{}^\circ -2\beta  \right)\text{ }=\text{ }cos\text{ }2\beta \]

Hence, sin(α-β) = cos 2β
