Correct Answer: 60° and 30°
Solution : Given, $\cos (A-B)=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$ and $\cos (A+B)=0$ Since $A$ and $B$ are acute positive angles, $\cos (A-B)=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$ ⇒ $(A-B) = \cos^{-1} \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$ ⇒ $(A-B) = 30°$ ------------------ (1) $\cos (A+B)=0$ ⇒ $(A+B) = \cos^{-1} 0$ ⇒ $(A+B) = 90°$ --------------------- (2) Solving (1) and (2), we get, $A = 60°$ and $B = 30°$ Hence, the correct answer is 60° and 30°.
