Given:
[tex]\sin \theta <0[/tex]
[tex]\tan \theta <0[/tex]
To find:
The quadrant in which [tex]\theta[/tex] lie.
Solution:
Quadrant concept:
In Quadrant I, all trigonometric ratios are positive.
In Quadrant II, only [tex]\sin\theta[/tex] and [tex]\csc\theta[/tex] are positive.
In Quadrant III, only [tex]\tan\theta[/tex] and [tex]\cot\theta[/tex] are positive.
In Quadrant IV, only [tex]\cos\theta[/tex] and [tex]\sec\theta[/tex] are positive.
We have,
[tex]\sin \theta <0[/tex]
[tex]\tan \theta <0[/tex]
Here, [tex]\sin\theta[/tex] is negative and [tex]\tan\theta[/tex] is also negative. It is possible, if [tex]\theta [/tex] lies in the Quadrant IV.
Therefore, the correct option is D.
