    A) \[\frac{24}{25}\] 

    B)                           \[-\frac{24}{25}\]

    C)           \[\frac{13}{18}\]                 

    D)           \[-\frac{13}{18}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Since, \[\alpha \] is a root of \[25{{\cos }^{2}}\theta +5\cos \theta -12=0\] \[\therefore \]     \[25{{\cos }^{2}}\alpha +5\cos \alpha -12=0\] \[\Rightarrow 25{{\cos }^{2}}\alpha +20\cos \alpha -15\cos \alpha -12=0\] \[\Rightarrow \]   \[5(5\cos \alpha +4)\,\,(5\cos \alpha -3)=0\] \[\Rightarrow \]   \[(5\cos \alpha +4)\,(5\cos \alpha -3)=0\] \[\Rightarrow \]                                   \[\cos \alpha =-\frac{4}{5},\frac{3}{5}\] But \[\frac{\pi }{2}<\alpha <\pi \] in second quadrant. \[\therefore \] We take \[\cos \alpha =-\frac{4}{5}\]                          \[(\because \cos \alpha <0)\] \[\Rightarrow \]   \[\sin \alpha =\frac{3}{5}\] \[\therefore \sin 2\alpha =2\sin \alpha \cos \alpha =-2\times \frac{3}{5}\times \frac{4}{5}=-\frac{24}{25}\]
