Question : If $3 \tan \theta=4$, then what is the value of $7 \sin \theta-2 \cos \theta$?
Option 1: $\frac{12}{5}$
Option 2: $4$
Option 3: $\frac{22}{5}$
Option 4: $\frac{17}{5}$
Correct Answer: $\frac{22}{5}$
Solution : Given, $3 \tan \theta=4$ ⇒ $\tan\theta=\frac43=\frac{\text{Perpendicular}}{\text{Base}}$ Using the Pythagoras theorem, $\small\text{Hypotenuse}^2=\text{Perpendicular}^2+\text{Base}^2$ ⇒ $h^2=4^2+3^2$ ⇒ $h^2=16+9$ ⇒ $h^2=25$ ⇒ $h=5$ We know, $\sin\theta=\frac{\text{Perpendicular}}{\text{Hypotenuse}}$ and $\cos\theta=\frac{\text{Base}}{\text{Hypotenuse}}$ ⇒ $\sin\theta=\frac{4}{5}$ and $\cos\theta=\frac35$ So, $7 \sin \theta-2 \cos \theta=7\times\frac{4}{5}-2\times\frac{3}{5}=\frac{28}{5}-\frac{6}{5}=\frac{22}{5}$ Hence, the correct answer is $\frac{22}{5}$.
