If secα + tanα = 2, then the value of sinα is (assume that 0 < α < 90°)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer:
Option
C
$$\eqalign{
& sec\alpha + \tan \alpha = 2\,.....(i) \cr
& sec\alpha - \tan \alpha = \frac{1}{2}\,.....(ii) \cr
& {\text{Adding equation (i) and (ii)}} \cr
& {\text{2sec}}\alpha = 2 + \frac{1}{2} \cr
& \sec \alpha = \frac{{5 \to {\text{H}}}}{{4 \to {\text{B}}}} \cr} $$

$$\sin \alpha = \frac{3}{5} = 0.6$$

$$\sin \alpha = \frac{3}{5} = 0.6$$
