  1. If cosα/cosβ = m and cosα/sinβ = n, then the value of (m² + n²) cos²b is :
    1. mn
    2. 1
Correct Option: A

m =
cosα
; n =
cosα
cosβsinβ

∴ (m² + n²) cos²b
=
cos²α
+
cos²α
cos²β
cos²βsin²β

= cos²α
1

1
cos²β
cos²βsin²β

= cos²α.cos²β
sin²β + cos²β
cos²β
cos²βsin²β.cos²β

=
cos²α
= n²
sin²β
