Correct Answer :

Option B

13/3

Solution :

The correct option is 13/3.

Based on the provided image, we are given the following trigonometric ratio:
sin A = 4 5
We need to evaluate the expression:
( 3 tan A ) ( 2 + cos A )

To find the values of cosA and tanA, we use the definition of the sine function in a right-angled triangle:
sin A = Opposite Hypotenuse = 4 5
Let us consider a right-angled triangle where:
Opposite side = 4
Hypotenuse = 5

Using Pythagoras' theorem, we can determine the length of the adjacent side:
Adjacent 2 + Opposite 2 = Hypotenuse 2
Adjacent 2 + 4 2 = 5 2
Adjacent 2 + 16 = 25
Adjacent 2 = 25 16
Adjacent 2 = 9
Adjacent = 9 = 3

Now, we can find the values of cosA and tanA:
cos A = Adjacent Hypotenuse = 3 5
tan A = Opposite Adjacent = 4 3

Next, substitute these values into the given expression:
( 3 tan A ) ( 2 + cos A ) = ( 3 4 3 ) ( 2 + 3 5 )

Simplify each factor separately:
First factor:
3 4 3 = 9 4 3 = 5 3
Second factor:
2 + 3 5 = 10 + 3 5 = 13 5

Multiply the two simplified results together:
( 5 3 ) × ( 13 5 ) = 5 × 13 3 × 5
Canceling the common factor of 5 in the numerator and denominator gives:
13 3
