  1. An isosceles triangle ABC is rightangled at B.D is a point inside the triangle ABC. P and Q are the feet of the perpendiculars drawn from D on the side AB and AC respectively of ∆ ABC. If AP = a cm, AQ = b cm and ∠BAD = 15°, sin 75°=
    1. 2b
      √3a
    2. a
      2b
    3. √3a
      2b
    4. 2a
      √3b
Correct Option: C

As per the given in question , we draw a figure of an isosceles triangle ABC

From ∆ AQD,

sin 60° =
AQ
AD

⇒
√3
=
b
2AD

⇒ AD =
2b
√3

From ∆ APD,
sin 75° =
AP
=
a
=
√3a
AD
2b
2b
√3
