Question

If secθ+tanθsecθ-tanθ=53\frac{\text{sec}\text{θ+\text{tan}\text{θ}}}{{\text{sec}\text{θ-\text{tan}\text{θ}}}}=\frac{5}{3}​, then the value of sin θ is:

A.

13\frac{1}{3}​​

B.

34\frac{3}{4}​​

C.

23\frac{2}{3}​​

D.

14\frac{1}{4}​​

Correct option is D

Given:

secθ+tanθsecθtanθ=53\frac{\sec\theta + \tan\theta}{\sec\theta - \tan\theta} = \frac{5}{3}

Formula Used:

secθ=1cosθ\theta =\frac 1{\cos \theta} , tan θ=sinθcosθ\theta =\frac{\sin\theta} {\cos \theta}​​

Solution:
secθ+tanθsecθtanθ=53\frac{\sec\theta + \tan\theta}{\sec\theta - \tan\theta} = \frac{5}{3}

​​1cosθ+sinθcosθ1cosθsinθcosθ=53\frac{\frac 1{\cos\theta} + \frac{\sin\theta}{\cos\theta}}{\frac 1{\cos\theta} -\frac{\sin\theta}{\cos\theta}} = \frac{5}{3}​​

1+sinθ1sinθ=53\frac{1 + \sin\theta}{1 - \sin\theta} = \frac{5}{3}​​

3(1+sinθ)=5(1sinθ)3(1 + \sin\theta) = 5(1 - \sin\theta)​​

3+3sinθ=55sinθ3 + 3\sin\theta = 5 - 5\sin\theta

3sinθ+5sinθ=53=23\sin\theta + 5\sin\theta = 5 - 3 = 2

sinθ=2\sin\theta = 2

sinθ=14\sin\theta = \frac{1}{4}
