SSC CGL - 14 Oct 2025 - Shift 1 • Quantitative Aptitude • Q68

If sin θ = 5/13, what is cot θ?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

sin θ = 5/13

In a right triangle, opposite side = 5, hypotenuse =13

Adjacent side = √(132 − 52)

= √(169 − 25)

= √144

= 12

cot θ = adjacent / opposite = 12/5
