    If \[\tan A=\sqrt{2}-1,\] then the value of \[\cos ec\,A\,.\sec A\] is equal to

    A)  \[\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\]                            

    B)  \[\frac{2}{\sqrt{2}}\]

    C)  \[2\sqrt{2}\]     

    D)  \[\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    \[\text{cosec}\,A\,.\sec A\] \[=\frac{\sqrt{1+{{\tan }^{2}}A}}{\tan A}\cdot \sqrt{1+{{\tan }^{2}}A}\] \[=\frac{1+{{\tan }^{2}}A}{\tan A}=\frac{1+{{(\sqrt{2}-1)}^{2}}}{\sqrt{2}-1}\] \[=\frac{1+2+1-2\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{2}-1}\] \[=\frac{4-2\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{2}-1}=\frac{2\sqrt{2}(\sqrt{2}-1)}{\sqrt{2}-1}=2\sqrt{2}\]
