Ans.
Given that:

cos (α - β) = cos [θ + α - θ – β) = cos [(θ + α) – (θ + β)] 
∴ cos (α - β)= cos (θ + α) cos (θ + β) + sin (θ + α) sin (θ + β)   

Now cos 2(α – β) – 4ab cos (α – β)

=  3[(cos² α + sin² α)2 – 2 sin² α cos² α] – 2[1 – 3 cos² α sin² α]
= 3[1 – 2 sin² α cos² α] – 2[1 – 3 cos² α sin² α]
= 3 – 6  sin² α cos² α - 2 + 6 cos² α sin² α
