Question : If $2 \cot \theta = 3$, find the value of $\frac{\sqrt{13} \sin \theta – 3 \tan \theta}{3 \tan \theta + \sqrt{13} \cos \theta}$
Option 1: $\frac{1}{\sqrt{13}}$
Option 2: $\frac{2}{\sqrt{13}}$
Option 3: 0
Option 4: $\frac{2}{3}$
Correct Answer: 0
Solution : $2 \cot \theta = 3$ $⇒\cot \theta=\frac{3}{2}$ $⇒\frac{\text{Base}}{\text{Perpendicular}} =\frac{3}{2}$ $⇒\frac{AB}{BC}= \frac{3}{2}$ Let $AB = 3k, BC = 2k$ From Pythagoras' Theorem, $AC^{2} = AB^{2} + BC^{2}$ $⇒AC^{2} = (3k)^{2} + (2k)^{2}$ $⇒AC^{2} = 13k^2$ $⇒AC = \sqrt{13}k$ $\sin\theta = \frac{\text{Perpendicular}}{\text{Hypotenuse}} = \frac{2k}{\sqrt{13}k}=\frac{2}{\sqrt{13}}$ $\cos\theta = \frac{\text{Base}}{\text{Hypotenuse}}
