Answer

In right angled triangle ABC,

⇒ AC2 = AB2 + BC2

⇒ AC2 = (24)2 + (7)2

⇒ AC2 = 576 + 49

⇒ AC2 = 625

⇒ AC = 625\sqrt{625} = 25 cm.

By formula,

sin A = PerpendicularHypotenuse\dfrac{\text{Perpendicular}}{\text{Hypotenuse}}

= BCAC=725\dfrac{BC}{AC} = \dfrac{7}{25}.

Hence, Option 2 is the correct option.
