  1. If sin (A – B) = (1 / 2) and cos (A + B) = (1 / 2) where A > B > 0 and A + B is an acute angle, then the value B is
    1. π
      6
    2. π
      12
    3. π
      4
    4. π
      2
Correct Option: B

sin (A – B) =
1
= sin 30°
2

⇒ A - B = 30°
Again, cos (A + B) =
1
= cos 30°
2

⇒ A + B = 60°
∴ A + B + A – B = 30° + 60° = 90°
⇒ 2 A = 90°
⇒ A = 45°
∴ A - B = 30°
⇒ B = A - 30° = 45° - 30° = 15°
=
