Question : If $\tan \theta+\sec \theta=7, \theta$ being acute, then the value of $5 \sin \theta$ is:
Option 1: $\frac{25}{24}$
Option 2: $\frac{24}{25}$
Option 3: $\frac{1}{24}$
Option 4: $\frac{24}{5}$
Correct Answer: $\frac{24}{5}$
Solution : Given: $\tan\theta+\sec\theta=7$ --------------------(1) We know that $\sec^2\theta-\tan^2\theta=1$ ⇒ $(\sec\theta+\tan\theta)(\sec\theta-\tan\theta)=1$ ⇒ $7×(\sec\theta-\tan\theta)=1$ ⇒ $\sec\theta-\tan\theta=\frac{1}{7}$ --------------------(2) Adding equations (1) and (2) we get, $2\sec\theta=7+\frac{1}{7}$ ⇒ $\sec\theta=\frac{25}{7}$ ⇒ $\cos\theta=\frac{7}{25}$ ⇒ $\sin\theta=\sqrt{1-(\frac{7}{25})^2}$ ⇒ $\sin\theta=\frac{24}{25}$ ⇒ $5\sin\theta=\frac{24}{5}$ Hence, the correct answer is $\frac{24}{5}$.
