Correct Answer: $\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}$


Solution : We know that $\sin^{2}\theta + \cos^{2}\theta = 1$
$7\sin^{2}\theta+3\cos^{2}\theta=4$
⇒ $7\sin^{2}\theta+3(1-\sin^{2}\theta)=4$
⇒ $4\sin^{2}\theta=1$
⇒ $\sin\theta = \sqrt{\frac{1}{4}}$ or $\sin\theta = -\sqrt{\frac{1}{4}}$
Since $0^{\circ}< \theta< 90^{\circ}$, $\sin\theta$ is positive.
⇒ $\sin\theta = \frac{1}{2}$
⇒ $\theta = 30^{\circ}$
⇒ $\tan\theta = \tan30^{\circ} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}$
Hence, the correct answer is $\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}$.
