  1. ABCD is a rectangle where the ratio of the length of AB and BC is 3 : 2. If P is the mid-point of AB, then the value of sin ∠CPB is
    1. 3
      5
    2. 2
      5
    3. 3
      4
    4. 4
      5
Correct Option: D

As per the given in question , we draw a figure rectangle ABCD

Given , AB : BC = 3 : 2
Let AB = 3y units and BC = 2y units

⇒ PB =
3
y units.
2

From ∆ PCB ,
CP = √PB² + BC²
CP = √
9y²
+ 4y²
4

CP = √
25y²
=
5y
units
42

∴ sin ∠CPB =
BC
CP

sin ∠CPB =
2y
5y
2

sin ∠CPB =
4
5

Take AB = 6y and BC = 4y ⇒ BP = 3y ⇒ CP = 5y
and sin ∠BPC =
BC
=
4y
=
4
