Solution

Given,

PQRS be a quadrilateral in a plane, where QR=1,∠PQR=∠QRS=70°,∠PQS=15° and ∠PRS=40°. If ∠RPS=θ°,PQ=α and PS=β, 

Now plotting the diagram of given values we get,

 

Figure

Applying sine rule in ∆PQR we get,

αsin30°=1sin80°

⇒α=12sin80°        ...i

Applying sine rule in ∆PRS,

βsin402=1sinθ

⇒βsinθ=sin40°        ...ii

From (i) & (ii),

4αβsinθ=4·12sin80°·sin40°=1cos40°

Using cos0°=1,cos30°=32,cos45°=12 and cos60°=12

Only Options (A) and (B) are correct.

Hence, the correct answer is options: 'A', 'B'.
