Solution : Given: $\tan2\theta \tan3\theta=1$ or, $\tan2\theta=\cot3\theta$ or, $\tan2\theta=\tan(90-3\theta)$ or, $2\theta=90-3\theta$ or, $5\theta =90$ $\therefore \theta=18°$ $2(\cos^2\frac{5\theta}{2}-1)$ = $2(\cos^2\frac{5×18°}{2}-1)$ = $2(\cos^245°-1)$ = $2×((\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}})^2-1)$ = $2×-\frac{1}{2}$ = $-1$ Hence, the answer is -1.
