  • `(-4)/5` or `4/5`

  • `4/5` but not `- 4/5`

  • None of these

Solution

If tan θ = `(-4)/3`, then sin θ is `underline((-4)/5 or 4/5)`.

Explanation:

Since tan θ = `- 4/3` is negative, θ lies either in the second quadrant or in the fourth quadrant.

Thus sin θ = `4/5` if θ lies in the second quadrant or sin θ = `- 4/5`, if θ lies in the fourth quadrant.

Let the angles of the quadrilateral be \[\left( a - 3d \right)^\circ, \left( a - d \right)^\circ, \left( a + d \right)^\circ \text{ and }\left( a + 3d \right)^\circ\]
We know: \[a - 3d + a - d + a + d + a - 2d = 360\]
\[ \Rightarrow 4a = 360\]
\[ \Rightarrow a = 90\]
We have:
Greatest angle = 120°
Now,
\[a + 3d = 120\]
\[ \Rightarrow 90 + 3d = 120\]
\[ \Rightarrow 3d = 30\]
\[ \Rightarrow d = 10\]
Hence,
\[\left( a - 3d \right)^\circ, \left( a - d \right)^\circ, \left( a + d \right)^\circ\text{ and }\left( a + 3d \right)^\circ\] are

\[60^\circ, 80^\circ, 100^\circ\text{ and }120^\circ\], respectively.
