    If \[\sec \theta +\tan \theta =p,\]then \[\tan \theta \]is equal to [MP PET 1994]

    A) \[\frac{2p}{{{p}^{2}}-1}\]

    B) \[\frac{{{p}^{2}}-1}{2p}\]

    C) \[\frac{{{p}^{2}}+1}{2p}\]

    D) \[\frac{2p}{{{p}^{2}}+1}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    \[\sec \theta +\tan \theta =p\,\,\Rightarrow \,\sec \,\theta -\tan \theta =\frac{1}{p}\] Subtracting second from first, we get \[2\tan \theta =p-\frac{1}{p}\] \[\Rightarrow \,\tan \theta =\frac{{{p}^{2}}-1}{2p}\].
