        If\[tan\text{ }\theta +sec\text{ }\theta =p,\]then what is the value of \[\sec \theta \]?

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

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

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

    D)  \[\frac{p+1}{2p}\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

                    We know, \[se{{c}^{2}}\theta -ta{{n}^{2}}\theta =1\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[(sec\theta +tan\theta )\text{ (}sec\theta -tan\theta )=1\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[\sec \theta -\tan \theta =\frac{1}{p}\] \[\therefore \]\[\sec \theta +\tan \theta +\sec \theta -\tan \theta =p+\frac{1}{p}\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[2\sec \theta =p+\frac{1}{p}\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[\sec \theta =\frac{{{p}^{2}}+1}{2p}\]
