Correct Answer: $\frac{2}{3}$


Solution : $2\cot x=5$
Or, $\cot x = \frac{5}{2}$
Given expression:
$\frac{2 \cos x-\sin x}{2 \cos x+\sin x}$
Dividing the numerator and the denominator by $\sin x $,
The expression becomes,
$\frac{2\cot x - 1}{2\cot x + 1} = \frac{2\times\frac{5}{2} - 1}{2\times\frac{5}{2}+1}=\frac{5-1}{5+1}=\frac{4}{6} = \frac{2}{3}$
Hence, the correct answer is $\frac{2}{3}$.
