    If\[\sec \theta +\tan \theta =k,\cos \theta \]equals to:

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

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

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

    D)         \[\frac{k}{{{k}^{2}}-1}\]

    E)  none of these

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    \[\because \]\[\sec \theta +\tan \theta =k\]                         ...(i) \[\therefore \]  \[\frac{{{\sec }^{2}}\theta -{{\tan }^{2}}\theta }{\sec \theta -\tan \theta }=k\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[\sec \theta -\tan \theta =\frac{1}{k}\]                      ...(ii) On solving Eqs (i) and (ii), we get \[2\sec \theta =k+\frac{1}{k}\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[\cos \theta =\frac{2k}{{{k}^{2}}+1}\]
