Correct Answer: $\frac{13}{12},\frac{13}{5}$
Solution : Given, $\tan A=\frac{12}{5}$ $\tan A = \frac{\text{perpendicular}}{\text{base}}$ Using pythagoras theorem, $\small\text{Hypotenuse}^2=\text{Base}^2+\text{Perpendicular}^2$ ⇒ $h^2=5^2+12^2$ ⇒ $h^2=25+144$ ⇒ $h^2=169$ ⇒ $h=13$ $\therefore$ $\operatorname{cosec A}=\frac{\text{Hypotenuse}}{\text{Perpendicular}}=\frac{13}{12}$ And, $\sec A=\frac{\text{Hypotenuse}}{\text{Base}}=\frac{13}{5}$ Hence, the correct answer is $\frac{13}{12},\frac{13}{5}$.
