Solution

(5sinx+12siny)2+(5cosx+12cosy)2=169+120cos(xy)
or (5sinx+12siny)2+169=169+120cos(xy)
or 5sinx+12siny=120cos(xy)
5sinx+12siny=120cos(xy)
this is maximum when cos(x-y) is maximum
theoritically cos(x-y) is maximum =1 when x=y
but is is possible under given case that is x =y satisfies
then we get
5cosx+12cosx=13socosx=13/17
it is possible
so maximum value of 5sinx+12siny=120
