Correct Answer: $\frac{4 \sqrt{7}}{3}$


Solution : Given, $\sin \theta=\frac{3}{11}$
We know, $\sin\theta = \frac{\text{Perpendicular}}{\text{Hypotenuse}}$
Using Pythagoras theorem, we get,
$\small (\text{Hypotenuse})^2 = (\text{Base})^2 + (\text{Perpendicular})^2$
Let base = $b$
⇒ $11^2 = b^2 + 3^2$
⇒ $b^2 = 121 - 9$
⇒ $b = \sqrt{112} = 4\sqrt7$
⇒ $\cot\theta = \frac{\text{base}}{\text{perpendicular}} = \frac{4\sqrt7}{3}$
Hence, the correct answer is $\frac{4\sqrt7}{3}$.
