SSC CHSL - 4 Aug 2021 - Shift 3 • Quantitative Aptitude • Q53

In Δ ABC, ∠A= 90°, AB = 20 cm and BC = 29 cm. What is the value of (sinB - cotC)?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. -(189/580).

In traingle ABC,

292 = 202 + AC2

841 - 400 = AC2

AC = 21

(sinB - cotC) = 21/29 - 21/20 

= (420 - 609)/580

= -189/580
