Correct Answer: $\frac12$


Solution : Given,
$\sin \alpha=\frac12$ and $\sin \beta=\frac12$ and $0°<\alpha, \beta<90°$
$\sin \alpha=\frac12=\sin30°$
⇒ $\alpha =30°$
$\sin \beta=\frac12=\sin30°$
⇒ $\beta=30°$
So, $\cos(\alpha+\beta)=\cos(30°+30°)=\cos60°=\frac{1}{2}$
Hence, the correct answer is $\frac12$.
