Correct Answer: $\frac{\sqrt{5}}{5}$
Solution : Given: $\sec\theta + \tan\theta = \sqrt{5}$ To find the value of $\sec\theta - \tan\theta$ We know, $\sec^2\theta -\tan^2\theta = 1$ ⇒ $\sec\theta -\tan\theta=\frac{1}{\sec\theta + \tan\theta}$ So, $\sec\theta - \tan\theta = \frac{1}{\sqrt{5}} = \frac{\sqrt{5}}{5}$ Hence, the correct answer is $\frac{\sqrt5}{5}$.
