    If \[a\,\sec \theta +b\,\tan \theta =1\] and \[{{a}^{2}}{{\sec }^{2}}\theta -{{b}^{2}}{{\tan }^{2}}\theta =5,\] then \[{{a}^{2}}{{b}^{2}}+4{{a}^{2}}\]is equal to ______.

    A) \[9{{b}^{2}}\]                                 

    B) \[\frac{9}{{{a}^{2}}}\]      

    C)  \[\frac{-2}{b}\]                     

    D)         2

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    \[a\sec \theta +b\tan \theta =1\] \[\Rightarrow \]            \[a\,\sec \theta =1-b\tan \theta \]                      ?.(i) \[\Rightarrow \]            \[{{(a\,sec\theta )}^{2}}={{(1-b\tan \theta )}^{2}}\] Also,\[{{a}^{2}}\,{{\sec }^{2}}\theta -{{b}^{2}}{{\tan }^{2}}\theta =5\] (Given)  ?.(ii) \[\therefore \] Substituting \[{{a}^{2}}{{\sec }^{2}}\theta ={{(1-b\,tan\theta )}^{2}}\]in (ii) i.e.,      \[{{(1-b\tan \theta )}^{2}}-{{b}^{2}}{{\tan }^{2}}\theta =5\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[1-2b\tan \theta =5\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[\tan \theta =-\frac{4}{2b}=\frac{-2}{b}\] ??(iii)             Using (iii) in (i), we get             \[\sec \theta =\frac{1-b\left( -\frac{2}{b} \right)}{a}=\frac{3}{a}\] and \[1+{{\tan }^{2}}\theta ={{\sec }^{2}}\theta \]             \[\Rightarrow \]  \[1+\frac{4}{{{b}^{2}}}=\frac{9}{{{a}^{2}}}\Rightarrow \,{{a}^{2}}{{b}^{2}}+4{{a}^{2}}=9{{b}^{2}}\]
