    If \[\sin \theta =-\frac{12}{13}\] and \[\pi <\theta <\frac{3\pi }{2}\] then the value of\[\sec \theta \]is

    A) \[\frac{13}{5}\]                         

    B) \[-\frac{13}{5}\]  

    C) \[-\frac{12}{13}\]                      

    D)         None of these

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    \[\sin \theta =-\frac{12}{13}\]and\[\pi <\theta <\frac{3\pi }{2}\sec \theta \]             \[=-\frac{1}{\sqrt{1-{{\sin }^{2}}\theta }}\]             \[=-\frac{1}{\sqrt{1-{{\left( \frac{12}{13} \right)}^{2}}}}=-\frac{1}{\sqrt{\frac{25}{169}}}\]             \[\sec \theta =-\frac{13}{5}\]
