Question : If $\tan \alpha=\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}$ and $\tan \beta=\sqrt{3}$ then what is the value of $\cos (\alpha+\beta)$?

Option 1: 0.2

Option 2: 0

Option 3: 0.5

Option 4: 1

$=\frac{\frac{5}{18}\times \frac{12}{25}- \frac{5}{18} \times \frac{18}{25}}{\frac{25}{72} \times \frac{2}{5}+\frac{9}{50} \times \frac{5}{6}}$
$=\frac{\frac{2}{15}-\frac{1}{5}}{\frac{5}{36}+\frac{3}{20}}$
$=\frac{\frac{2-3}{15}}{\frac{25+27}{180}}$
$=\frac{-1}{15}\times \frac{180}{52}$
