Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

Correct Answer is option 1 i.e. 4/17

Concept

Understanding

Application

Fair calculation

Tanθ = P/B

H2 = B2 + P2

 

Given that,

sin θ = 4 cos θ

Sin θ = 4 cos θ

Tanθ = 4 = P/B

So, let P be 4 and B be 1

H2 = B2 + P2

H = √17

Sinθ = 4/√17

Cosθ = 1/√17

Hence,

Sinθ Cosθ = (4/√17) × (1/√17) = 4/17

 

 

H2 = 42 + 12 = 17

H = √17
