The correct answer is: $\frac{x+y}{1-x y}$
Let $x=\tan \theta$ and $y=\tan \phi$
$\begin{aligned}
& \Rightarrow \tan \left\{\frac{1}{2} \sin ^{-1} \sin 2 \theta+\frac{1}{2} \cos ^{-1} \cos 2 \phi\right\} \\
& =\tan (\theta+\phi) \\
& =\frac{\tan \theta+\tan \phi}{1-\tan \theta \cdot \tan \phi}=\frac{x+y}{1-x y}
\end{aligned}$
