If tan A = (512)\Big(\dfrac{5}{12}\Big), then the value of (sin A + cos A) sec A is:

  1. (512)\Big(\dfrac{5}{12}\Big)

  2. (712)\Big(\dfrac{7}{12}\Big)

  3. (1712)\Big(\dfrac{17}{12}\Big)

  4. (513)\Big(\dfrac{5}{13}\Big)

Answer

Given,

(sin A + cos A) sec A

(sinA+cosA)1cosAsinAcosA+cosAcosAtanA+1512+15+12121712.\Rightarrow (\sin A + \cos A)\dfrac{1}{\cos A} \\[1em] \Rightarrow \dfrac{\sin A}{\cos A} + \dfrac{\cos A}{\cos A} \\[1em] \Rightarrow \tan A + 1 \\[1em] \Rightarrow \dfrac{5}{12} + 1 \\[1em] \Rightarrow \dfrac{5 + 12}{12} \\[1em] \Rightarrow \dfrac{17}{12}.

Hence, option 3 is the correct option.
