💡 Analysis & Explanation

Interpreting OCR and Trigonometric Values ▼

The source text 'Q.83 If $\cot\theta=\frac{3}{4}$, then find the value of sin30.' has an obvious OCR error. It asks for 'sin30' but $\cot\theta = 3/4$. It probably meant $\sin^3\theta$ or similar. Let's find $\sin\theta$ first. If $\cot\theta = 3/4$, then adjacent = 3, opposite = 4. The hypotenuse = $\sqrt{3^2 + 4^2} = \sqrt{25} = 5$. Therefore, $\sin\theta = \text{opposite}/\text{hypotenuse} = 4/5$.

Evaluating Options ▼

Let's calculate $\sin^3\theta = (4/5)^3 = 64/125$. Now let's look at the strange options from OCR: 1. 44/125, 2. 117/125, 3. 81/125, 4. $\times4-\frac{117}{125}$? The 4th option is very garbled. But look at $\sin^3\theta = 64/125$. None of the clear options match. What if it was asking for $\sin 3\theta$? The formula is $\sin 3\theta = 3\sin\theta - 4\sin^3\theta$. Let's calculate: $3(4/5) - 4(64/125) = 12/5 - 256/125 = 300/125 - 256/125 = 44/125$. Ah!

Confirming the Question ▼

The OCR 'sin30' perfectly corresponds to '$\sin 3\theta$' visually. And the mathematical result $44/125$ is exactly Option 1. This confirms the question is 'find the value of $\sin 3\theta$'. I will adjust the Hindi and English question text in my final output to reflect this realization. Let's rewrite the explanation based on this solid proof.

Calculating sin(theta) ▼

Given $\cot\theta = 3/4$, we represent this on a right triangle where adjacent side = 3 and opposite side = 4. The hypotenuse is $\sqrt{3^2 + 4^2} = 5$. Thus, $\sin\theta = 4/5$.

Applying Multiple Angle Formula ▼

We need to find $\sin 3\theta$. The standard trigonometric identity is $\sin 3\theta = 3\sin\theta - 4\sin^3\theta$.

Final Computation ▼

Substitute $\sin\theta = 4/5$: $\sin 3\theta = 3(4/5) - 4(4/5)^3 = 12/5 - 4(64/125) = 12/5 - 256/125$. Making denominators common: $300/125 - 256/125 = 44/125$.

Conclusion ▼

The value is strictly 44/125.
