    Question

    In a triangle, right angled at B, AB = 12 cm and BC = 5 cm. what will be the value of 

    (i) sinAcosA

    (ii) sinCcosC respectively?

    A.

    26169,25169\frac{26}{169} , \frac{25}{169}​​

    B.

    25169,60169\frac{25}{169} , \frac{60}{169}​​

    C.

    60169,60169\frac{60}{169} , \frac{60}{169}​​

    D.

    60169,25169\frac{60}{169} , \frac{25}{169}​​

    Correct option is C

    Given:

    In a triangle, right angled at B,

    AB = 12 cm

    BC = 5 cm.

    Concept used:

    Pythagoras Theorem rule;

    H2=P2+B2H^2 = P^2 + B^2  

    Sinθ= Height  Hypotenuse Cosθ= Base  Hypotenuse \begin{aligned}& \operatorname{Sin} \theta=\frac{\text { Height }}{\text { Hypotenuse }} \\& \operatorname{Cos} \theta=\frac{\text { Base }}{\text { Hypotenuse }}\end{aligned}​​

    Solution:

     Thus, AC=122+52=13 cmSinA=513CosA=1213\begin{aligned}&\text { Thus, } \mathrm{AC}=\sqrt{12^2+5^2}=13 \mathrm{~cm}\\&\begin{aligned}& \operatorname{Sin} A=\frac{5}{13} \\& \operatorname{Cos} A=\frac{12}{13}\end{aligned}\end{aligned}​​

     Hence, SinACosA=60169\text { Hence, } \operatorname{Sin} A\cdot \operatorname{Cos} A=\frac{60}{169}

    SinC=1213CosC=513\begin{aligned}& \operatorname{Sin} C=\frac{12}{13} \\& \operatorname{Cos} C=\frac{5}{13}\end{aligned}​​

    Hence, Sin C.Cos C = 60169\frac{60}{169}

    Thus, the correct answer is option (c).
