    If \[\tan \theta =\frac{a}{x},\]then the value of \[\frac{x}{\sqrt{{{a}^{2}}+{{x}^{2}}}}\] is:

    A) \[\sin \theta \]

    B) \[\sec \theta \]

    C) \[\cos \theta \]

    D) \[\text{cosec}\theta \]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    [c] \[\frac{x}{\sqrt{{{a}^{2}}+{{x}^{2}}}}=\frac{x}{x\sqrt{{{\left( \frac{a}{x} \right)}^{2}}+1}}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{{{\left( \frac{a}{x} \right)}^{2}}+1}}.\] \[\left( \tan \theta =\frac{a}{x} \right)\]
    \[\frac{1}{\sqrt{{{\tan }^{2}}\theta +1}}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{{{\sec }^{2}}\theta }}=\frac{1}{\sec \theta }=\cos \theta \] \[({{\tan }^{2}}\theta +1={{\sec }^{2}}\theta )\]
