    If tan \[\theta =\frac{x}{y}\], where x and y are whole numbers, find \[\sin \theta \].

    A)  \[\frac{y}{\sqrt{{{y}^{2}}-{{x}^{2}}}}\]                  

    B)  \[\frac{x}{\sqrt{{{x}^{2}}-{{y}^{2}}}}\]

    C)  \[\frac{y}{\sqrt{{{x}^{2}}+{{y}^{2}}}}\]                

    D)  \[\frac{x}{\sqrt{{{y}^{2}}-{{x}^{2}}}}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    (b): \[\tan \theta =\frac{x}{y}\Rightarrow \cot \theta =\frac{y}{x}\Rightarrow \cos ec\theta \] \[=\sqrt{1+{{\left( \frac{y}{x} \right)}^{2}}}=\frac{\sqrt{{{x}^{2}}+{{y}^{2}}}}{x}\] \[\therefore \]      \[\sin \theta =\frac{x}{\sqrt{{{x}^{2}}+{{y}^{2}}}}\]
