SSC CGL 2023 PYQ — Question 73

SSC CGL - 27 July 2023 - Shift 3 • Quantitative Aptitude • Q73

If 7 cot P = 24, then find sin P.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. 725\frac{7}{25}.

7cotP = 24

So

⇒ cotP = 24/7​

Since cot⁡P = adjacent/opposite

Adjacent side = 24

Opposite side = 7

Use the Pythagorean theorem

h2 = adjacent2 + opposite2

⇒ h = 242+72=576+49=625=25\sqrt{24^2 + 7^2} = \sqrt{576 + 49 } = \sqrt{625} = 25

sinP = opposite​/hypotenuse = 7/25
