If $5\tan \theta = 4,$ then $\frac{{5\sin \theta - 3\cos \theta }}{{5\sin \theta + 2\cos \theta }} = $

A

$0$

B

$1$

C

$1/6$

D

$6$

Solution

(c) $5\tan \theta = 4 \Rightarrow \tan \theta = \frac{4}{5}$

$\therefore \sin \theta = \frac{4}{{\sqrt {41} }}$ and

$\cos \theta = \frac{5}{{\sqrt {41} }}$

$\frac{{5\sin \theta – 3\cos \theta }}{{5\sin \theta + 2\cos \theta }}$

$= \frac{{5 \times \frac{4}{{\sqrt {41} }} – 3 \times \frac{5}{{\sqrt {41} }}}}{{5 \times \frac{4}{{\sqrt {41} }} + 2 \times \frac{5}{{\sqrt {41} }}}}$ 

$\frac{{20 – 15}}{{20 + 10}} = \frac{5}{{30}} = \frac{1}{6}$.
