Question:

If tan θ + sec θ = 7, θ being acute, then the value of 5 sin θ is:

Options:

$\frac{25}{24}$

$\frac{24}{25}$

$\frac{1}{24}$

$\frac{24}{5}$

Correct Answer:

$\frac{24}{5}$

Explanation:

Given :-

tan θ + sec θ = 7   -----(1)

Then , sec θ - tan θ = \(\frac{1}{7}\)     -----------(2)

Adding equation 1 & 2

2sec θ = 7 + \(\frac{1}{7}\)  = \(\frac{50}{7}\)

sec θ = \(\frac{25}{7}\) 

H = 25 , B = 7

By using pythagoras theorem

P2 + B2 = H2

P2 + 72 = 252

P = 24

So , 5sinθ = 5 × \(\frac{24}{25}\)  = \(\frac{24}{5}\)
