Option 1: $\frac{18}{17}$
Option 2: $\frac{23}{17}$
Option 3: $\frac{21}{17}$
Option 4: $\frac{15}{17}$

Correct Answer: $\frac{23}{17}$
Solution : Given, triangle PQR is right-angled at Q with $\angle$RPQ = $\alpha$ PR is 17 units, QR = 8 units, and PQ = 15 units $\sin\alpha+\cos\alpha$ = $\frac{\text{QR}}{\text{PR}}+\frac{\text{PQ}}{\text{PR}}$ = $\frac{8}{17}+\frac{15}{17}$ = $\frac{23}{17}$ Hence, the correct answer is $\frac{23}{17}$.
