(A) Given roots are $\alpha = \sin^2 18^{\circ}$ and $\beta = \cos^2 36^{\circ}$.We know that $\sin 18^{\circ} = \frac{\sqrt{5}-1}{4}$ and $\cos 36^{\circ} = \frac{\sqrt{5}+1}{4}$.Sum of roots: $\alpha + \beta = \left(\frac{\sqrt{5}-1}{4}ight)^2 + \left(\frac{\sqrt{5}+1}{4}ight)^2 = \frac{6-2\sqrt{5}}{16} + \frac{6+2\sqrt{5}}{16} = \frac{12}{16} = \frac{3}{4}$.Product of roots: $\alpha \cdot \beta = \left(\frac{\sqrt{5}-1}{4}ight)^2 \cdot \left(\frac{\sqrt{5}+1}{4}ight)^2 = \left(\frac{(\sqrt{5}-1)(\sqrt{5}+1)}{16}ight)^2 = \left(\frac{5-1}{16}ight)^2 = \left(\frac{4}{16}ight)^2 = \left(\frac{1}{4}ight)^2 = \frac{1}{16}$.The quadratic equation is given by $x^2 - (	ext{sum of roots})x + (	ext{product of roots}) = 0$.$x^2 - \frac{3}{4}x + \frac{1}{16} = 0$.Multiplying by $16$,we get $16x^2 - 12x + 1 = 0$.

The quadratic equation whose roots are $\sin^2 18^{\circ}$ and $\cos^2 36^{\circ}$ is:
