Correct Answer: $\cos 2A$
Solution :
$\cos (36^{\circ}+A). \cos (36^{\circ}-A)+\cos (54^{\circ}+A) .\cos (54^{\circ}-A)$
= $\cos (36^{\circ}+A) . \cos (36^{\circ}-A)+\sin [90^{\circ}-(54^{\circ}+A)] . \sin [90^{\circ}-(54^{\circ}-A )]$
= $\cos (36^{\circ}+A) \cdot \cos (36^{\circ}-A)+\sin (36^{\circ}-A) \cdot \sin (36^{\circ}+A)$
= $\cos (36^{\circ}+A-36^{\circ}+A )$ [$\because \cos(A- B) =\sin A.\sin B +\cos A. \cos B$]
= $\cos 2A$
Hence, the correct answer is $\cos 2A$.
