    If \[\tan \theta +sec\theta =l\], then the value of \[\sec \theta \] is

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

    B) \[\frac{{{l}^{2}}+1}{2l}\]

    C) \[\frac{{{l}^{2}}-1}{l}\]

    D) \[\frac{2\left( {{l}^{2}}-1 \right)}{l}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Given,          \[\tan \theta +\sec \theta =I\]       ...(i) \[\Rightarrow \frac{\left( \tan \theta +\sec \theta  \right)\left( \sec \theta -\tan \theta  \right)}{\left( \sec \theta -\tan \theta  \right)}=I\] \[\Rightarrow \,\,\,\frac{\left( {{\sec }^{2}}\theta -{{\tan }^{2}}\theta  \right)}{\left( \sec \theta -tan\theta  \right)}=I\] \[\Rightarrow \,\,\frac{1}{\sec \theta -\tan \theta }=I\] \[\left[ \because \,\,{{\sec }^{2}}\theta -{{\tan }^{2}}\theta =1 \right]\] \[\Rightarrow \,\,\sec \theta -\tan \theta =\frac{1}{I}\]                        … (ii) On adding Eqs. (i) and (ii), we get \[2\sec \theta =I+\frac{1}{I}\] \[\Rightarrow \,\,\sec \theta =\frac{{{I}^{2}}+1}{2I}\]
