A line which makes an acute angle `theta` with the positive direction of the x-axis is drawn through the point `P(3,4)` to meet the line `x=6` at `R` and `y=8` at `Sdot` Then, (a) `P R=3sectheta` (b)`P S=4cosectheta` (c)`P R+P S=(2(3sintheta+4costheta))/(sin2theta)` (d)`9/((P R)^2)+(16)/((P S)^2)=1`
