Question

If (secA+tanA)(secAtanA)=25179\frac{(\sec⁡A+ \tan⁡A)}{(\sec⁡A-\tan⁡A)} = 2\frac{51}{79}​, then the value of sin⁡A is equal to:

A.

87169\frac{87}{169}​​

B.

65144\frac{65}{144}​​

C.

77144\frac{77}{144}​​

D.

61169\frac{61}{169}​​

Correct option is B

Given:
secA+tanAsecAtanA=25179=20979\frac{\sec A + \tan A}{\sec A - \tan A} = 2 \frac{51}{79} = \frac{209}{79}​​

Formula Used:

(secA+tanA)(secAtanA)=sec2Atan2A=1(\sec A + \tan A)(\sec A - \tan A) = \sec^2 A - \tan^2 A = 1​​
​​​​secA=1cosA\sec A = \frac{1}{\cos A}

tanA=sinAcosA\tan A = \frac{\sin A}{\cos A} ​​​

Solution:​​

Let’s directly compute sinA\sin A​ using the identity:

 secA+tanAsecAtanA=1+sinA1sinA=20979\ \frac{\sec A + \tan A}{\sec A - \tan A} = \frac{1 + \sin A}{1 - \sin A} = \frac{209}{79}

(1+sinA)×79=(1sinA)×209(1 + \sin A) \times 79 = (1 - \sin A) \times 209

79+79sinA=209209sinA 79 + 79 \sin A = 209 - 209 \sin A

79sinA+209sinA=20979 79 \sin A + 209 \sin A = 209 – 79

288sinA=130 288 \sin A = 130

sinA=130288=65144 \sin A = \frac{130}{288} = \frac{65}{144}​​
Thus, the correct option is (b) 65144\frac{65}{144}​​
