    Question

    If secθ + tanθ = 3+√10, then the value

    of sinθ+cosθ is
    A (6√3)/5 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B (5√10)/7 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C (3√10)/5 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D (2√10)/5 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    secθ + tanθ = 3+√10 ............... (i) (sec²θ - tan²θ) = 1 (secθ + tanθ) (secθ - tanθ) = 1 (3+√10) (secθ - tanθ) = 1 secθ - tanθ = 1/(3+√10) = 1/(√10+3) secθ - tanθ = √10-3 ............ (ii) From (i) and (ii) we get, 2secθ = 2√10 secθ = √10 cosθ = 1/√10 sin²θ + cos²θ = 1 sin²θ + 1/10 = 1 sin²θ = 1- 1/10 = 9/10 sinθ = 3/√10 sinθ + cosθ = 3/√10 + 1/√10 = 4/√10 = 4/√10 × √10/√10 = (2√10)/5
