SSC CHSL - 19 April 2021 - Shift 1 • Quantitative Aptitude • Q66

Ifsinθ=1115sin\theta={{11} \over 15}  , then the value of (secθ−tanθ)({{sec\theta - tan\theta}})   is:

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 1 i.e. 2613{{\sqrt26} \over 13}

sinθ = 11/15

sinθ =  P/H = 11/15

H2 = P2 + B2

225 = 121 + B2

B = 226\sqrt{26}

  (secθ−tanθ)({{sec\theta - tan\theta}}) = [15/( 226\sqrt{26})] - [ 11/( 226\sqrt{26})]

= 2/26\sqrt{26} × (26\sqrt{26}/26\sqrt{26})

= 2613{{\sqrt26} \over 13}
