SSC CGL 2023 PYQ — Question 75

SSC CGL - 21 July 2023 - Shift 4 • Quantitative Aptitude • Q75

If 8 cot A = 7, find sin A.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e.  8113\frac{8}{\sqrt{113}}.

Given that

8cot A = 7

⇒ cot A = 78\frac{7}{8}

⇒ baseperpendicular\frac{base}{perpendicular} = 78\frac{7}{8}

Hence, hypotenuse2 = 72 + 82 

⇒ Hypotenuse = √113

Hence, sin A = perpendicularhypotenuse\frac{perpendicular }{hypotenuse} = 8113\frac{8}{\sqrt{113}}
