As we learnt

 

Subtraction Formulae -

 

\cos \left ( A-B \right )= \cos A\cos B+\sin A\sin B

- wherein

A and B are two angles.

 

 

 

sinA sinB =\frac{1}{2} \times 2\sin A\sin B        =\frac{1}{2}\left[ {\cos (A - B) - \cos (A + B)} \right]

                        =\frac{1}{2}\left[ {\cos (A - B) - \cos 90^\circ } \right]= \frac{1}{2}\cos (A - B) £ \frac{1}{2}

                        Þ Maximum value of sinA sinB =\frac{1}{2}.

                        Hence (A) is the  correct answer.

 


Option 1)

\frac{1}{2}

Option 2)

1

Option 3)

2

Option 4)
