Correct Answer: $\sqrt{\frac{b+a}{b-a}}$
Solution :
$b \sin \theta = a$
$\sin\theta = \frac{a}{b}$
So, Perpendicular = $a$ & Hypotenuse = $b$
$(Hypotenuse)^2= (Perpendicular)^2+ (Base)^2$
⇒ $b^2= a^2 + (Base)^2$
⇒ $(Base)^2 = b^2- a^2$
⇒ $(Base) = \sqrt{b^2- a^2}$
$\sec \theta = \frac{(Hypotenuse)}{(Base)}= \frac{b}{\sqrt{b^2- a^2}}$
$\tan \theta= \frac{(Perpendicular)}{(Base)}= \frac{a}{\sqrt{b^2- a^2}}$
So, $\sec \theta+ \tan \theta = \frac{b}{\sqrt{b^2- a^2}} + \frac{a}{\sqrt{b^2- a^2}}$
⇒ $\sec \theta+ \tan \theta = \frac{b + a}{\sqrt{b^2- a^2}}$
⇒ $\sec \theta+ \tan \theta = \sqrt{\frac{b+a}{b+a}} \times \sqrt{\frac{b+a}{b-a}} $
⇒ $\sec \theta+ \tan \theta = \sqrt{\frac{b+a}{b-a}} $
Hence, the correct answer is$ \sqrt{\frac{b+a}{b-a}}$.
