If $\sec \theta=\frac{13}{12}, \theta$ lies in $4^{\text {th }}$ quadrant, then $\tan \theta \times \operatorname{cosec} \theta \times \sin \theta \times \cos \theta=$
  1. $\frac{-5}{13}$
  2. $\frac{144}{169}$
  3. $\frac{25}{169}$
  4. $\frac{5}{13}$

Solution

Given $\sec \theta=\frac{13}{12} \Rightarrow \cos \theta=\frac{12}{13}$ $\therefore \sin \theta=\sqrt{1-\frac{144}{169}}=-\frac{5}{13} \quad \ldots\left[\theta\right.$ lies in $4^{\text {th }}$ quadrant $]$ $\tan \theta=\frac{\left(\frac{5}{13}\right)}{\left(\frac{12}{13}\right)}=\frac{-5}{12}$ and $\operatorname{cosec} \theta=\frac{-13}{5}$ $\therefore \quad \tan \theta \times \operatorname{cosec} \theta \times \sin \theta \times \cos \theta=\left(\frac{-5}{12}\right) \times\left(\frac{-13}{5}\right) \times\left(\frac{-5}{13}\right)\left(\frac{12}{13}\right)=\frac{-5}{13}$
