Given:

Cot A = 12/5

Formula used:

Pythagorean theorem:

H2 = P2 + B2

Cot A = B/P ; sin A = P/H ; cos A = B/H ; cosec A = H/P

Where, H = hypotenuse ; P = perpendicular ; B = Base

Calculation:

Cot A = 12/5 = B/P

Using Pythagorean theorem:

H2 = P2 + B2

⇒ H2 = (5)2 + (12)2

⇒ H = √(25 + 144) = √169

⇒ H = 13 cm

Now,

(sin A + cos A) × cosec A

⇒ {(5/13) + (12/13)} × 13/5

⇒ (17/13) × (13/5) = 17/5

∴ The correct answer is 17/5.
