Question : If $\cot A=\frac{5}{12}$, find the value of the following expression: $\frac{5\left(1-\cos^2 A\right)}{6\left(1-\sin^2 A\right)}$
Option 1: $\frac{144}{5}$
Option 2: $\frac{24}{25}$
Option 3: $\frac{144}{25}$
Option 4: $\frac{24}{5}$
Correct Answer: $\frac{24}{5}$
Solution : Given: $\cot A=\frac{5}{12}⇒ \cot^2A = \frac{25}{144}$ Using identity: $\cos^2A+\sin^2A=1$ $\frac{5(1-\cos^2A)}{6(1-\sin^2A)}$ = $\frac{5\sin^2A}{6\cos^2A}$ = $\frac{5}6\times \tan^2A $ = $\frac{5}6\times\frac{1}{\cot^2A} $ = $\frac{5}6\times \frac{144}{ 25}$ = $\frac{24}5$ Hence, the correct answer is $\frac{24}{5}$.
