    If \[12\,{{\cot }^{2}}\theta -31\cos ec\theta +32=0\], then the value of \[\sin \theta \] is

    A)  \[\frac{3}{5}\]or 1                          

    B)  \[\frac{2}{3}\] or \[-\frac{2}{3}\]

    C)  \[\frac{4}{5}\] or \[\frac{3}{4}\]                               

    D)  \[\pm \frac{1}{2}\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    \[12{{\cot }^{2}}\theta -31\text{ }\cos ec\,\theta +32=0\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[12{{\cos }^{2}}\theta -31\sin \theta +32{{\sin }^{2}}\theta =0\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[12\,(1-si{{n}^{2}}\theta )-31\sin \theta +32{{\sin }^{2}}\theta =0\] \[\Rightarrow \]                               \[20{{\sin }^{2}}\theta -31\sin \theta +12=0\] This is a quadratic equation in sin 9. \[\therefore \]  \[\sin \theta =\frac{3\pm \sqrt{{{31}^{2}}-4.\,20\,.12}}{2.20}\]                 \[=\frac{31\pm \sqrt{961-960}}{40}=\frac{31\pm 1}{40}\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[\sin \theta =\frac{4}{5},\frac{3}{4}\]
