Correct Answer: $\frac{1}{2}\left(5+\frac{1}{5}\right)$
Solution : Given: $\sec \theta+\tan \theta=5$ ..... equation1 $\sec^{2}\theta - \tan^{2}\theta =1$ ⇒ $(\sec \theta+\tan \theta)(\sec \theta-\tan \theta)=1$ ⇒ $\sec \theta-\tan \theta=\frac{1}{5}$......equation2 Adding equation1 and equation2 $2\sec\theta = 5 + \frac{1}{5}$ ⇒ $\sec\theta=\frac{1}{2}\left(5+\frac{1}{5}\right)$ Hence, the correct answer is $\frac{1}{2}\left(5+\frac{1}{5}\right)$.
