It is given that \angleC = 90°

In \bigtriangleupABC

\angleA +\angleB +\angleC = 180             [\because  sum of interior angles of a triangle is 180°]
\angleA + \angleB + 90o = 180            [\because C = 90° (given)]
\angleA + \angleB = 1800 – 900
\angleA + \angleB = 90°          …(1)
cos(\angleA +\angleB) = cos (90°)
cos(90°) = 0
[\because from the table of trigonometric ratios of angles we know that cos 90° = 0]
Hence option A is correct.
