Correct Answer: $\frac{2}{3}$
Solution : Given: $\sec\theta-\tan\theta=\frac{1}{\sqrt3}$ -------------------------(1) We know, $\sec^2\theta-\tan^2\theta=1$ ⇒ $(\sec\theta+\tan\theta)(\sec\theta-\tan\theta)=1$ ⇒ $(\sec\theta+\tan\theta)(\frac{1}{\sqrt3})=1$ ⇒ $(\sec\theta+\tan\theta)=\sqrt3$ -----------------------------------(2) Now solving equation (1) and equation (2) we get, $\sec\theta=\frac{2}{\sqrt3}$ and $\tan\theta=\frac{1}{\sqrt3}$ So $\sec\theta.\tan\theta=\frac{2}{\sqrt3}×\frac{1}{\sqrt3}=\frac{2}{3}$ Hence, the correct answer is $\frac{2}{3}$.
