If secθ + tanθ = 2 then the value of sec T is ;fn secT + tanT = 2

a

45\frac{4}{5}

b

5

c

54\frac{5}{4}

d

2\sqrt{2}

Answer : Option C
Explanation :

secθ+tanθ=2\sec \theta+\tan \theta=2 \quad \ldots \ldots (i)

sec2θtan2θ=1\therefore \sec ^{2} \theta-\tan ^{2} \theta=1

(secθ+tanθ)(secθtanθ)=1\Rightarrow(\sec \theta+\tan \theta)(\sec \theta-\tan \theta)=1

secθtanθ=12\Rightarrow \sec \theta-\tan \theta=\frac{1}{2}

By adding equations (i) and (ii),

secθ+tanθ+secθtanθ=2+12=52\therefore \quad \sec \theta+\tan \theta+\sec \theta-\tan \theta=2+\frac{1}{2}=\frac{5}{2}

2secθ=52secθ=54\Rightarrow 2 \sec \theta=\frac{5}{2} \Rightarrow \sec \theta=\frac{5}{4}
