In a triangle $\mathrm{ABC}$, with usual notations, if $\mathrm{m} \angle \mathrm{A}=60^{\circ}, \mathrm{b}=8, \mathrm{a}=6$ and $\mathrm{B}=\sin ^{-1} x$, then $x$ has the value
  1. $\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$
  2. $\frac{2}{\sqrt{3}}$
  3. $2 \sqrt{3}$
  4. $\frac{1}{2 \sqrt{3}}$

Solution

By sine rule, we get $\begin{aligned} & \frac{\sin \mathrm{A}}{\mathrm{a}}=\frac{\sin \mathrm{B}}{\mathrm{b}} \\ & \Rightarrow \frac{\sin 60^{\circ}}{6}=\frac{x}{8} \\ & \Rightarrow x=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \times \frac{8}{6} \\ & \Rightarrow x=\frac{2}{\sqrt{3}} \end{aligned}$
