Question : If $\sec x+\cos x=\frac{5}{2}$, where $x$ lies between $0^{\circ}$ and $90^{\circ}$, then what is the value of $\sin ^2 x$ ?

Option 1: $\frac{3}{4}$

Option 2: $\frac{1}{2}$

Option 3: $1$

Option 4: $\frac{1}{4}$

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $\frac{3}{4}$


Solution : Given: $\sec x + \cos x = \frac{5}{2}$
Now, $\cos\theta = \frac{1}{\sec\theta}$
⇒ $\frac{1}{\cos x} + \cos x = \frac{5}{2}$
The above equation satisfies for $x = 60^\circ$
Thus, $\sin^2x = \sin^2 60^\circ= (\frac{\sqrt3}{2})^2$
$\therefore \sin^2x = \frac{3}{4}$
Hence, the correct answer is $\frac{3}{4}$.
