Given,

cosec θ = 1312\dfrac{13}{12}

By formula,

⇒ cot2 θ = cosec2 θ - 1

cot2 θ=(1312)21=1691441=169144144=25144cot θ=25144=512\text{cot}^2 \text{ θ} = \Big(\dfrac{13}{12}\Big)^2 - 1 \\[1em] = \dfrac{169}{144} - 1 \\[1em] = \dfrac{169 - 144}{144} \\[1em] = \dfrac{25}{144} \\[1em] \Rightarrow \text{cot θ} = \sqrt{\dfrac{25}{144}} = \dfrac{5}{12}

Solving,

2 sin θ - 3 cos θ4 sin θ - 9 cos θ[Dividing numerator and denominator by sin θ](2 sin θ - 3 cos θ)sin θ(4 sin θ - 9 cos θ)sin θ2 sin θsin θ3 cos θsin θ4 sin θsin θ9 cos θsin θ2 - 3 cot θ49 cot θ [cot θ=cos θsin θ]Substituting values we get23×51249×51225441548541615434143.\Rightarrow \dfrac{\text{2 sin θ - 3 cos θ}}{\text{4 sin θ - 9 cos θ}} \\[1em] [\text{Dividing numerator and denominator by sin θ}] \\[1em] \Rightarrow \dfrac{\dfrac{\text{(2 sin θ - 3 cos θ)}}{\text{sin θ}}}{\dfrac{\text{(4 sin θ - 9 cos θ)}}{\text{sin θ}}} \\[1em] \Rightarrow \dfrac{\dfrac{\text{2 sin θ}}{\text{sin θ}} - \dfrac{\text{3 cos θ}}{\text{sin θ}}}{\dfrac{\text{4 sin θ}}{\text{sin θ}} - \dfrac{\text{9 cos θ}}{\text{sin θ}}} \\[1em] \Rightarrow \dfrac{\text{2 - 3 cot θ}}{{4 - \text{9 cot θ}}} \space [\because \text{cot θ} = \dfrac{\text{cos θ}}{\text{sin θ}}] \\[1em] \text{Substituting values we get} \\[1em] \Rightarrow \dfrac{2 - 3 \times \dfrac{5}{12}}{4 - 9\times \dfrac{5}{12}} \\[1em] \Rightarrow \dfrac{2 - \dfrac{5}{4}}{4 - \dfrac{15}{4}} \\[1em] \Rightarrow \dfrac{\dfrac{8 - 5}{4}}{\dfrac{16 - 15}{4}} \\[1em] \Rightarrow \dfrac{\dfrac{3}{4}}{\dfrac{1}{4}} \\[1em] \Rightarrow 3.

Hence, 2 sin θ - 3 cos θ4 sin θ - 9 cos θ=3.\dfrac{\text{2 sin θ - 3 cos θ}}{\text{4 sin θ - 9 cos θ}} = 3.
