    If \[\sec \theta =\frac{13}{5},\] then\[\frac{2\sin \theta -3cos\theta }{4\sin \theta -9\cos \theta }\] is equal to

    A)  \[\frac{1}{3}\]

    B)  \[-3\]

    C)  3

    D)  2

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    \[\sec \theta =\frac{13}{5}\]
    \[\therefore \]\[\tan \theta =\sqrt{{{\sec }^{2}}\theta -1}=\sqrt{\frac{169}{25}-1}=\frac{12}{5}\]
    \[\frac{2\sin \theta -3\cos \theta }{4\sin \theta -9\cos \theta }=\frac{2\frac{\sin \theta }{\cos \theta }-3}{4\frac{\sin \theta }{\cos \theta }-9}\]
    Divide numerator and denominator by \[\cos \theta ,\]
    \[=\frac{2\tan \theta -3}{4\tan \theta -9}=\frac{2\times \frac{12}{5}-3}{4\times \frac{12}{5}-9}=\frac{9/5}{3/5}=\frac{9}{3}=3\]
