Correct Answer: 0.1


Solution : Given: $\tan \ x = \frac{7}{5}$
Now, $\frac{9 \sin\  x – \frac{42}{5} \cos \ x}{15 \sin\ x + 21 \cos\ x}$
$=\frac{9 \tan \ x – \frac{42}{5} }{15 \tan\ x + 21 }$ [Dividing the expression's numerator and denominator by $\cos x$]
$=\frac{9 \times\frac{7}{5} – \frac{42}{5} }{15 \times\frac{7}{5} + 21 }$
$=\frac{\frac{63 – 42}{5}}{21 + 21}$
$=\frac{\frac{21}{5}}{42}$
$={\frac{1}{10}}$
$ = 0.1$
Hence, the correct answer is 0.1.
