As we learnt

 

Trigonometric Ratios of Special Angles -

 

- wherein

These are the values of trigonometric ratios for standard angles. 

 

 

The equations are sin (A – B) = \frac{1}{2} = sin 300 Þ A – B = 300.         …(1)

                        And cos (A + B) = \frac{1}{2} = cos 600 Þ A + B = 600.                          ...(2)

                        From (1) and (2), A = 450 and B = 150.


Option 1)

A = 600 and B = 300

Option 2)

A = 150 and B = 450.

Option 3)

A = 450 and B = 150

Option 4)

A = 300 and B = 300
