Correct Answer: $\frac{5}{3}$


Solution :
Given: $\triangle$XYZ is right-angled at Y and $\cos X=\frac{3}{5}$
Since $\triangle$XYZ is right-angled at Y,
So, X + Z = 90°
⇒ X = 90° – Z
Now, $\cos X=\frac{3}{5}$
⇒ $\cos(90°–Z)=\frac{3}{5}$
⇒ $\sin Z=\frac{3}{5}$
$\therefore\operatorname{cosec}Z=\frac{5}{3}$ [$\because$ $\operatorname{cosec}Z=\frac{1}{\sin Z}$]
Hence, the correct answer is $\frac{5}{3}$.
