    If \[\sec \theta +\tan \theta =7,\]then \[(\sec \theta -\tan \theta )\] is equal to:                         (CBSE 2012)

    A) 7

    B) 0

    C) \[\frac{1}{7}\]

    D) 1

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    [c] Given,\[\sec \theta +\tan \theta =\frac{7}{1}\]
    \[\Rightarrow \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\frac{(\sec \theta +\tan \theta )(\sec \theta -\tan \theta )}{(\sec \theta -\tan \theta )}=\frac{7}{1}\]
    \[\Rightarrow \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\sec \theta -\tan \theta =\frac{{{\sec }^{2}}\theta -{{\tan }^{2}}\theta }{7}\]
    \[[(a+b)\,\,(a-b)={{a}^{2}}-{{b}^{2}}]\]
    \[\therefore \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\sec \theta -\tan \theta =\frac{1}{7}\]\[[{{\sec }^{2}}\theta -{{\tan }^{2}}\theta =1]\]
