Correct Answer: $\frac{m^2-1}{m^2+1}$
Solution : $1 + \sin\theta = m\cos\theta$ ⇒ $m=\frac{1}{\cos\theta}+\frac{\sin\theta}{\cos\theta}$ ⇒ $m=\sec\theta+\tan\theta$ Squaring both sides, we get, ⇒ $m^2 = \sec^2\theta + \tan^2\theta + 2\sec\theta\tan\theta$ We know, $\sec^2\theta = 1+\tan^2\theta$ ⇒ $m^2 = 1+\tan^2\theta + \tan^2\theta + 2\frac{\sin\theta}{\cos^2\theta}$ ⇒ $m^2 = 1+2\frac{\sin^2\theta}{\cos^2\theta} +2\frac{\sin\theta}{\cos^2\theta}$ ⇒ $m^2 = \frac{\cos^2\theta +2\sin^2\theta + 2\sin\theta}{\cos^2\theta}$ Applying componendo and dividendo rule, ⇒ $\frac{m^2-1}{m^2+1}=\frac{\cos^2\theta +2\sin^2\theta + 2\sin\theta -\cos^2\theta}{\cos^2\theta +2\sin^2\theta + 2\sin\theta+\cos^2\theta}$ ⇒ $\frac{m^2-1}{m^2+1}=\frac{2\sin^2\theta+2\sin\theta}{2\cos^2\theta + 2\sin^2\theta +2\sin\theta}$ Using $\sin^2\theta + \cos^2\theta = 1$ ⇒ $\frac{m^2-1}{m^2+1}=\frac{2\sin\theta(1+\sin\theta)}{2+2\sin\theta}$ ⇒ $\frac{m^2-1}{m^2+1}=\frac{2\sin\theta(1+\sin\theta)}{2(1+\sin\theta)}$ ⇒ $\sin\theta = \frac{m^2-1}{m^2+1}$ Hence, the correct answer is $\frac{m^2-1}{m^2+1}$.
