Correct Option: C
 Here,
| cosx = – | and p < x < | |||
| 5 | 2 | 
⇒ x lies in third quadrant, and we know that in third quadrant only tan and cot are positive.
Consider right angled ∆ABC,

Using pythagoras theorem,
AC² = AB² + BC²
⇒ 5² = (–3)² + BC²
16 = BC²
⇒ BC = 4
We know that,
sin2A = 2sinA × cosA
⇒ sin2x = 2 × sinx× cosx
| = 2 × |  |  | × | ||
| 5 | 5 | 
| = | ||
| 25 | 
∵ Here, sinq is –ve
