Question:

if 6sec θ = 10, then find the value of $\frac{5cosecθ-3cotθ}{4cosθ+3sinθ}$ .

Options:

$\frac{2}{3}$

$\frac{3}{2}$

$\frac{5}{6}$

$\frac{6}{5}$

Correct Answer:

$\frac{5}{6}$

Explanation:

6sec θ = 10

sec θ = \(\frac{ 5 }{3}\)

By using pythagoras theorem ,

P² + B² = H²

P² + 3² = 5²

P = 4

Now,

\(\frac{ 5cosecθ - 3cotθ }{4cosθ + 3sinθ}\)

= \(\frac{ 5 × 5/4  - 3 × 3/4 }{4×3/5 + 3×4/5}\)

= \(\frac{16/4 }{24/5}\)

= \(\frac{5 }{6}\)
