Question : A tangent AB at point A of a circle of radius 6 cm meets a line through the centre O at point B. If OB = 10 cm, then the length of AB (in cm) is equal to:
Option 1: 5
Option 2: 6
Option 3: 4
Option 4: 8

Question : If $\operatorname{tan} \theta=\frac{3}{4}$, then find the value of expression $\frac{1+\operatorname{sin} \theta}{1-\operatorname{sin} \theta}$.
Option 1: 4
Option 2: 3
Option 3: 8
Option 4: 5
Correct Answer: 4
Solution : Given: $\tan\theta=\frac{3}{4} =\frac{Perpendicular}{Base}$ Using Pythagoras' theorem, $AC=\sqrt{AB^2+BC^2}$ ⇒ $AC=\sqrt{3^2+4^2} =5$ $\sin\theta =\frac {\text {Perpendicular}}{\text {Hypotenuse} } = \frac{3}{5}$ Now, $\frac{1+\sin\theta}{1-\sin\theta} = \frac{1+\frac{3}{5}}{1-\frac{3}{5}} =\frac{8}{2}=4$ Hence, the correct answer is 4.
