Answer
Given,
sec θ + tan θ = p
We know that,
sec2 θ − tan2 θ = 1
(sec θ + tan θ)(sec θ − tan θ) = 1
(p)(sec θ − tan θ) = 1
sec θ − tan θ =
Add sec θ + tan θ and sec θ − tan θ,
sec θ + tan θ + sec θ − tan θ = p +
2sec θ =
sec θ =
Assertion (A) is false.
sec2 θ − tan2 θ = 1 is a standard Pythagorean Identity.
Reason is true.
A is false, R is true
Hence, option 2 is the correct option.
