MCQ
If $\sin x = \frac{{ - 24}}{{25}},$ then the value of $\tan \, x$ is
  • A
    $\frac{{24}}{{25}}$
  • $\frac{{ - 24}}{7}$
  • C
    $\frac{{25}}{{24}}$
  • D
    None of these

Answer

Correct option: B.
$\frac{{ - 24}}{7}$
b
(b) $\cos x = \sqrt {1 - {{\sin }^2}x} $

$= \sqrt {1 - {{\left( {\frac{{ - 24}}{{25}}} \right)}^2}} = \frac{7}{{25}}$

$ \Rightarrow \tan x = \frac{{\sin x}}{{\cos x}} = \frac{{ - 24}}{7}$.
