MCQ
If ABCD is a cyclic quadrilateral, then $\cos A +\cos B$ is equal to
  • A
    $0$
  • B
    $\cos C+\cos D$
  • $-(\cos C+\cos D)$
  • D
    $\cos C-\cos D$

Answer

Correct option: C.
$-(\cos C+\cos D)$
(C)
Since $A+C=180^{\circ}$ and $B+D=180^{\circ}$
$\therefore \cos A+\cos B=\cos \left(180^{\circ}-C\right)+\cos \left(180^{\circ}-D\right)$
$=-(\cos C +\cos D )$
$\ldots\left[\because \cos \left(180^{\circ}-\theta\right)=-\cos \theta\right]$
