310, for principal value of tan1(3). The general solution is ±310.

Explanation:

Let a=tan1(3). Then, tana=3<0.

So, the principal a is in the fourth quadrant and the general a is in

either fourth or second.

And so, sina=310 against principal a and the given

expression

sina=310

The general solution is ±310.
