Correct Answer: $\frac{12}{13}$
Solution : Given, $\tan Q = \frac{5}{12}$ We know, $\tan\theta = \frac{\text{Perpendicular}}{\text{Base}}$ Applying Pythagoras theorem, $\small\text{Hypotenuse}^2 = \text{Perpendicular}^2+\text{Base}^2$ ⇒ $\text{H}^2=5^2+12^2$ ⇒ $\text{H}^2 = 25 + 144$ ⇒ $\text{H}=\sqrt{169}$ ⇒ $\text{H} = 13\ \text{units}$ Now, $\cos\theta = \frac{\text{Base}}{\text{Hypotenuse}}$ ⇒ $\cos Q = \frac{12}{13}$ Hence, the correct answer is $\frac{12}{13}$.
