Use all the required trigonometric identities and also basic knowledge of transformations to get the required result.


Complete step-by-step answer:
Statement-I: Given equation in the question, which we need to solve:
$\dfrac{\left( \sin A+\sin B \right)}{\left( \sin A-\sin B \right)}\ =\ \dfrac{\tan \left( \dfrac{A+B}{2} \right)}{\tan \left( \dfrac{A-B}{2} \right)}$
By taking the left-hand side separately we get the term:
$\dfrac{\left( \sin A+\sin B \right)}{\left( \sin A-\sin B \right)}$
By basic knowledge of transformation, we can say identities as follows:
$\sin A+\sin B\ =\ 2\sin \left( \dfrac{A+B}{2} \right)\cos \left( \dfrac{A-B}{2} \right)$.
$\sin A-\sin B\ =\ 2\cos \left( \dfrac{A+B}{2} \right)\sin \left( \dfrac{A-B}{2} \right)$
By substituting above terms in the equation’s L.H.S. we get,
L.H.S. $=\ \dfrac{2\sin \left( \dfrac{A+B}{2} \right)\cos \left( \dfrac{A-B}{2} \right)}{2\cos \left( \dfrac{A+B}{2} \right)\sin \left( \dfrac{A-B}{2} \right)}$
By cancelling 2 and rewriting the term the L.H.S. turns into:
L.H.S. $=\ \dfrac{\dfrac{\sin \left( \dfrac{A+B}{2} \right)}{\cos \left( \dfrac{A+B}{2} \right)}}{\dfrac{\sin \left( \dfrac{A-B}{2} \right)}{\cos \left( \dfrac{A-B}{2} \right)}}$
By simplifying the above term, we can say
L.H.S. $=\ \dfrac{\tan \left( \dfrac{A+B}{2} \right)}{\tan \left( \dfrac{A-B}{2} \right)}$
L.H.S. $=$ R.H.S.
Hence, the statement is true.
Statement- II: Given statement in the question which we need:
${{\sin }^{2}}A-{{\cos }^{2}}B\ =\ \sin \left( A+B \right)\sin \left( A-B \right)$
$\Rightarrow \text{Take R.H.S. }\sin \left( A+B \right)\sin \left( A-B \right)$
By basic trigonometry knowledge, we know the formulae:
Sin(A + B) = sin A cos B + cos A sin B
Sin(A - B) = sin A cos B – cos A sin B
By substituting above formulae, we get equation as:
$\text{= }\left( \sin A\cos B+\cos A\sin B \right)\left( \sin A\cos B-\cos A\sin B \right)$
By using algebraic identity, given by:
(a+b)(a-b) = \[{{a}^{2}}-{{b}^{2}}\]
By substituting above identity, we get the equation as:
$={{\sin }^{2}}A{{\cos }^{2}}B-{{\cos }^{2}}A{{\sin }^{2}}B$
By using the identity: ${{\sin }^{2}}A+{{\cos }^{2}}A\ =\ 1$, we can write ${{\sin }^{2}}A=\ 1-{{\cos }^{2}}A$
By substituting the above, we get it as:
$={{\sin }^{2}}A\left( 1-{{\sin }^{2}}B \right)-{{\sin }^{2}}B\left( 1-{{\sin }^{2}}A \right)$
By simplifying the above equation, we get it as:
$={{\sin }^{2}}A-{{\sin }^{2}}A{{\sin }^{2}}B-{{\sin }^{2}}B+{{\sin }^{2}}A{{\sin }^{2}}B\ =\ {{\sin }^{2}}A-{{\sin }^{2}}B$
L.H.S. = ${{\sin }^{2}}A-{{\cos }^{2}}B\ $
R.H.S. = ${{\sin }^{2}}A-{{\sin }^{2}}B$
L.H.S. $\ne $ R.H.S. so this is wrong statement.
Statement-III: Given statement in question which we need is
$\cos A-\cos B\ =\ 2\cos \left( \dfrac{A+B}{2} \right)\cos \left( \dfrac{A-B}{2} \right)$
L.H.S. = cos A – cos B
By transformations, we know
$\cos A-\cos B\ =\ -2\sin \left( \dfrac{A+B}{2} \right)\sin \left( \dfrac{A-B}{2} \right)$
So from above equation we get:
L.H.S. =$-2\sin \left( \dfrac{A+B}{2} \right)\sin \left( \dfrac{A-B}{2} \right)$
From the given equation, we get:
R.H.S. = $2\cos \left( \dfrac{A+B}{2} \right)\cos \left( \dfrac{A-B}{2} \right)$
L.H.S. $\ne $ R.H.S.
So, This statement is wrong.
Statement-IV: Given statement in question, which we need is
${{\cos }^{2}}A-{{\cos }^{2}}B\ =\ \sin \left( A+B \right)\sin \left( B-A \right)$
By using algebraic identity, given by:
(a+b)(a-b) = \[{{a}^{2}}-{{b}^{2}}\]
By substituting above identity, we get the left hand side as:
$\Rightarrow \left( \cos A-\cos B \right)\left( \cos A+\cos B \right)$
By transformations, we can say that:
 $\left( \cos A-\cos B \right)$= $-2\sin \left( \dfrac{A-B}{2} \right)\sin \left( \dfrac{A+B}{2} \right)$
$\left( \cos A+\cos B \right)$= $2\cos \left( \dfrac{A+B}{2} \right)\cos \left( \dfrac{A+B}{2} \right)$
By substituting these values into equation above, we get the left hand side as:
$\Rightarrow -2\sin \left( \dfrac{A-B}{2} \right)\sin \left( \dfrac{A+B}{2} \right)\centerdot 2\cos \left( \dfrac{A+B}{2} \right)\cos \left( \dfrac{A+B}{2} \right)$
$\Rightarrow -2\sin \left( \dfrac{A-B}{2} \right)\cos \left( \dfrac{A-B}{2} \right)\centerdot 2\sin \left( \dfrac{A+B}{2} \right)\cos \left( \dfrac{A+B}{2} \right)$
By using $\text{2sin}\left( A \right)\cos \left( A \right)\ =\ \sin 2A$
We get the left hand side $\Rightarrow -\sin \left( 2.\dfrac{A-B}{2} \right)\sin \left( 2.\dfrac{A+B}{2} \right)\ =\ \sin \left( B-A \right)\sin \left( A+B \right)$
So from this, we get:
L.H.S. = $\sin \left( B-A \right)\sin \left( A+B \right)$
From given statement, we can say:
R.H.S. = $\sin \left( B-A \right)\sin \left( A+B \right)$
So, L.H.S. = R.H.S.
Statement is correct. So, statements II, III are wrong.
Option (b), (c) is correct.

Note:While solving statement 1 be careful that as the terms in R.H.S. are in terms of tan you must convert L.H.S. into terms of \[\dfrac{\sin }{\cos }\]but not \[\dfrac{\cos }{\sin }\] because the latter will give everything in terms of cot but we need tan. Take care of the “$-$” sign in the transformation of $\cos a-\cos b$ as this may make the statement IV wrong. Don’t forget that “$-$” sign in the transformation.
