\( \dfrac{1}{5} \)
\( \dfrac{5}{26} \)
\( \dfrac{5}{13} \)
\( \dfrac{1}{13} \)
Show Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is
C
Solution and Explanation
Step 1: Use the identity.
\[ (\cosec\theta + \cot\theta)(\cosec\theta - \cot\theta) = 1 \]
Step 2: Find \( \cosec\theta - \cot\theta \).
\[ \cosec\theta - \cot\theta = \frac{1}{5} \]
Step 3: Solve the system.
\[ \cosec\theta + \cot\theta = 5 \] \[ \cosec\theta - \cot\theta = \frac{1}{5} \] Adding, \[ 2\cosec\theta = \frac{26}{5} \Rightarrow \cosec\theta = \frac{13}{5} \]
Step 4: Find \( \sin\theta \).
\[ \sin\theta = \frac{5}{13} \]
Step 5: Conclusion.
The value of \( \sin\theta \) is \( \dfrac{5}{13} \).
