Correct Answer :

Option A

120/169

Solution :

The correct option is 120/169.

To find the value of sin(2tan1512), we can use trigonometric identity transformations.

Let θ=tan1(512).
This implies that:
tan(θ)=512

We want to find the value of sin(2θ).

Using the double-angle formula for sine in terms of tangent:
sin(2θ)=2tan(θ)1+tan2(θ)

Now, substitute the value of tan(θ)=512 into the formula:

sin(2θ)=2·(512)1+(512)2

Simplify the numerator:
2·512=56

Simplify the denominator:
1+25144=144+25144=169144

Now divide the simplified numerator by the simplified denominator:

sin(2θ)=56169144=56·144169

Since 144÷6=24, we have:
sin(2θ)=5·24169=120169

Therefore, sin(2tan1512)=120169.
