    If \[\tan \theta =\frac{3}{4}\]and \[0<\theta <\frac{\pi }{2}\]and \[25x{{\sin }^{2}}\theta \cos \theta ={{\tan }^{2}}\theta ,\]then the value of \[x\]is    [SSC (CGL) 2014]

    A) \[\frac{7}{64}\]                         

    B) \[\frac{9}{64}\]

    C) \[\frac{3}{64}\]                         

    D) \[\frac{5}{64}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    Given, \[\tan \theta =\frac{3}{4}=\frac{p}{b}\]
    Then,\[h=\sqrt{{{p}^{2}}+{{b}^{2}}}=\sqrt{9+16}=\sqrt{25}=5\]
                \[\therefore \]\[\sin \theta =\frac{p}{h}=\frac{3}{5}\]
    \[\Rightarrow \]\[\cos \theta =\frac{b}{h}=\frac{4}{5}\]
    Now, \[25x{{\sin }^{2}}\theta \cos \theta ={{\tan }^{2}}\theta \]
    \[\Rightarrow \]\[25\cdot x\cdot {{\left( \frac{3}{5} \right)}^{2}}\cdot \frac{4}{5}={{\left( \frac{3}{4} \right)}^{2}}\]
    \[\Rightarrow \]\[25\cdot x\cdot \frac{9}{25}\cdot \frac{4}{5}=\frac{9}{16}\]
    \[\therefore \]      \[x=\frac{5}{64}\]
