Directions: In the following questions, the Assertions $(A)$ and Reason$(s) (R)$ have been put forward. Read both the statements carefully and choose the correct alternative from the following:
Assertion: The value of $\sin(-690^\circ)\cos(-300^\circ)+\cos(-750^\circ)\sin(-240^\circ)=1.$
Reason: The values of $\sin$ and $\cos$ is negative in third and fourth quadrant respectively.
  • A
    Assertion and Reason both are correct statements and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion.
  • B
    Assertion and Reason both are correct statements but Reason is not the correct explanation of Assertion.
  • Assertion is correct statement but Reason is wrong statement.

Directions: In the following questions, the Assertions $(A)$ and Reason$(s) (R)$ have been put forward. Read both the statements carefully and choose the correct alternative from the following:
If $\text{A} + \text{B} + \text{C} = 180^\circ$, then
Assertion: $\cos^{2}\frac{\text{A}}{2}+\cos^{2}\frac{\text{B}}{2}-\cos^{2}\frac{\text{C}}{2}=2\cos\frac{\text{A}}{2}\cos\frac{\text{B}}{2}\sin\frac{\text{C}}{2}.$
Reason: $\cos\text{C}+\cos\text{D}=2\cos\Big(\frac{\text{C}+\text{D}}{2}\Big)\cos\Big(\frac{\text{C}+\text{D}}{2}\Big).$
  • Assertion and Reason both are correct statements and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion.
  • B
    Assertion and Reason both are correct statements but Reason is not the correct explanation of Assertion.
  • C
    Assertion is correct statement but Reason is wrong statement.
  • D
