Question:

$\frac{1+\sin \theta}{\cos \theta}$ is equal to which of the following (where $\theta \neq \frac{\pi}{2}$) ?

Options:

$\frac{1+\cos \theta}{\sin \theta}$

$\frac{\tan \theta+1}{\tan \theta-1}$

$\frac{\tan \theta-1}{\tan \theta+1}$

$\frac{\cos \theta}{1-\sin \theta}$

Correct Answer:

$\frac{\cos \theta}{1-\sin \theta}$

Explanation:

Given :-

 \(\frac{1 + sin θ}{cos θ}\)

Multiply and divide by ( 1 - sin θ )

 = \(\frac{1 + sin θ}{cos θ}\) ×  \(\frac{1 - sin θ}{1 - sin θ}\)

= \(\frac{(12 - sin2 θ}{cos θ ( 1 - sin θ)}\)

= \(\frac{(cos2 θ}{cos θ ( 1 - sin θ)}\)

= \(\frac{(cos θ}{( 1 - sin θ)}\)

So , Option 4 is correct .
