Option 1: $\frac{\sqrt{13}}{2}$

Option 2: $\frac{2}{\sqrt{3}}$

Option 3: $\frac{\sqrt{13}}{10}$

Option 4: $\frac{10}{\sqrt{3}}$

Correct Answer: $\frac{\sqrt{13}}{2}$


Solution :
$\angle$F = 90°, EF = 10 cm, FG = 15 cm
By Pythagoras theorem,
Hypotenuse 2 = Base 2 + Perpendicular 2
EG 2 = EF 2 + FG 2
⇒ EG 2 = 10 2 + 15 2
⇒ EG 2 = 100 + 225
⇒ EG = $\sqrt{325}$ cm
cosec $\theta$ = $\frac{\text{Hypotenuse}}{\text{Perpendicular}}$
⇒ cosec G = $\frac{\sqrt{325}}{10} = \frac{\sqrt{25 \times 13}}{10} = \frac{5\sqrt{13}}{10}$
⇒ $\frac{\sqrt{13}}{2}$
Hence, the correct answer is $\frac{\sqrt{13}}{2}$.
