Question

If θ\theta​ is an acute angle, and cosθ=1213cos\theta = \frac{12}{13}​, then the value of 13sinθ+12secθ12tanθ+5cosecθ\frac{13sin\theta + 12sec\theta}{12tan\theta + 5cosec\theta}​ is:

A.

1

B.

12\frac{1}{2}​​

C.

22​​

D.

32\frac{3}{2}​​

Correct option is A

Given:

cosθ=1213\cos \theta = \frac{12}{13}​​

We need to find the value of 13sinθ+12secθ12tanθ+5cscθ\frac{13 \sin \theta + 12 \sec \theta}{12 \tan \theta + 5 \csc \theta}​​

Concept Used:

Trigonometric identities:

sin2θ+cos2θ=1\sin^2 \theta + \cos^2 \theta = 1​​

secθ=1cosθ\sec \theta = \frac{1}{\cos \theta} ​​​

cosecθ=1sinθ\cosec \theta = \frac{1}{\sin \theta}​​

tanθ=sinθcosθ\tan \theta = \frac{\sin \theta}{\cos \theta}​​

Solution:

Using cosθ=1213,\cos \theta = \frac{12}{13}​,​​

sin2θ=1cos2θ=1(1213)2=1144169=25169\sin^2 \theta = 1 - \cos^2 \theta = 1 - \left(\frac{12}{13}\right)^2 = 1 - \frac{144}{169} = \frac{25}{169}​​

Now, calculate the required trigonometric values:

secθ=1cosθ=1312\sec \theta = \frac{1}{\cos \theta} = \frac{13}{12}​​

tanθ=sinθcosθ=512\tan \theta = \frac{\sin \theta}{\cos \theta} = \frac{5}{12} ​​​

cosecθ=1sinθ=135\cosec \theta = \frac{1}{\sin \theta} = \frac{13}{5} ​​​

Substituting values into the expression:

13sinθ+12secθ12tanθ+5cscθ =13×513+12×131212×512+5×135 =5+135+13=1818=1\frac{13 \sin \theta + 12 \sec \theta}{12 \tan \theta + 5 \csc \theta} \\ \ \\ = \frac{13 \times \frac{5}{13} + 12 \times \frac{13}{12}}{12 \times \frac{5}{12} + 5 \times \frac{13}{5}} \\ \ \\= \frac{5 + 13}{5 + 13} = \frac{18}{18} = 1​​
