Hint: Here convert $\cos \theta$ into $sin \theta$ by using the trigonometric relation ${\cos ^2}({90^ \circ }{\text{ - }}\theta ){\text{ = }}{\sin ^2}\theta $.


Complete step by step solution:

Given equation is $({\cos ^2}{67^ \circ }{\text{ - }}{\sin ^2}{23^ \circ }) $

Now, we can write this equation in this form i.e.

 $({\cos ^2}{67^ \circ }{\text{ - }}{\sin ^2}{23^ \circ }) = {\cos ^2}({90^ \circ }{\text{ - 2}}{{\text{3}}^ \circ }{\text{) - }}{\sin ^2}{23^ \circ } $......................................(1)

We know that

${\cos ^2}({90^ \circ }{\text{ - }}\theta ){\text{ = }}{\sin ^2}\theta $

Now using this concept we can write the equation (1) in this form i.e.

 $({\cos ^2}{67^ \circ }{\text{ - }}{\sin ^2}{23^ \circ }){\text{ = }}{\sin ^2}{23^ \circ }{\text{ - }}{\sin ^2}{23^ \circ } $

 $({\cos ^2}{67^ \circ }{\text{ - }}{\sin ^2}{23^ \circ }) = {\text{ 0}} $


Note: - These types of problems can be solved by converting either $\cos \theta$ into $\sin \theta$ or $sin \theta$ into $\cos \theta$. Here we have converted $\cos \theta$ into $\sin \theta$ in the similar way we can do it for other questions as well.
