The correct answer is: 1/a2

We have to find the value of cos2B-C2(b+c)2+sin2B-C2(b-c)2,

We know that, in a triangle, a=2RsinA, b=2RsinB and c=2RsinC

Substituting them,

cos2B-C2(b+c)2+sin2B-C2(b-c)2=cos2B-C22R· sin B+2R· sin C2+sin2B-C22R· sin B-2R· sin C)2

As, A+B+C=π=12RsinB+C2=12Rsinπ-A2=12RsinA2=1a2
