Detailed Solution

Given that,
sinθ= 12 13  
Sine is a ratio of the side opposite to the angle θ   by Hypotenuse. Then, if k is any positive integer,
  sinθ= 12k 13k   Opposite side Hypotenuse = 12k 13k  
Form a triangle with respect to θ   with opposite side as AC and hypotenuse AC.
Question ImageBy applying Pythagoras theorem, we get,
A C 2 =B C 2 +A B 2 169 k 2 =144 k 2 +B C 2 B C 2 =169 k 2 144 k 2 B C 2 =25 k 2 BC=5k  
Therefore,  cosθ= Adjacent side Hypotenuse cosθ= BC AC cosθ= 5k 13k cosθ= 5 13  
Thus, the value of cosθ   is 5 13  .
Hence, option 4 is correct.
