Correct Answer: $\frac{\sqrt 3a}{2b}$
Solution : Since $\triangle$ABC is a right-angled isosceles triangle, $\angle$A = $\frac{180 - 90}{2}$ = 45° $\angle$DAQ = $\angle$A–$\angle$BAD = 45° – 15° = 30° $\sin$ $\angle$ADQ = $\sin$ 60° = $\frac{AQ}{AD}$ $\frac{b}{AD}$ = $\frac{\sqrt3}{2}$ AD = $\frac{2b}{\sqrt3}$ From $\triangle$APD, $\sin$ 75° = $\frac{AP}{AD}$ = $\frac{a}{\frac{2b}{\sqrt3}}$ = $\frac{\sqrt3a}{2b}$ Hence, the correct answer is $\frac{\sqrt3a}{2b}$.
