    Which of the following is possible?

    A)  \[cos\theta =x+\frac{1}{x}\]     

    B)  \[sec\theta =\frac{{{x}^{2}}}{1+{{x}^{2}}}\]

    C)  \[cosec\theta =\frac{{{x}^{2}}}{1+{{x}^{2}}}\]       

    D)  \[\tan \theta =\frac{{{x}^{2}}+x+1}{{{x}^{2}}-3x+5}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    (d): Put \[x=1\] and verify in all the options. Since \[\cos \theta \le 1\], but \[x+\frac{1}{x}\cancel{\le }1\]always. \[\therefore \] Option (a) is not true. Further, \[\sec \theta \ge 1\] but \[\frac{{{x}^{2}}}{1+{{x}^{2}}}<1\] always. \[\therefore \] Option (b) is not possible. Similarly, since \[cosec\theta \ge 1\]always. \[\therefore \] Options (c) is not possible. Hence, by elimination method, option (d) is true. Aliter: You can also verify for option (d) separately as \[-\infty <\tan \theta <+\infty \]
