Question : If $\frac{\cos\alpha}{\cos\beta}= m$ and $\frac{\cos\alpha}{\sin\beta}= n$, then the value of $(m^{2}+n^{2})\cos^{2}\beta$ is:
Option 1: n2
Option 2: m2
Option 3: mn
Option 4: 1
Correct Answer: n2
Solution : Given that $\frac{\cos\alpha }{\cos\beta }=m$ and $\frac{\cos\alpha }{\sin\beta }=n$, we can express $\cos\: \alpha$ in terms of $m$ and $n$ as follows: $⇒\cos\alpha = m×cos\beta =n× \sin\beta$ Squaring both sides, we get: $⇒(m × \cos\beta)^2 = (n × \sin\beta)^2$ This simplifies to: $⇒m^2 ×
