If $$\sin \theta = \frac{a}{{\sqrt {{a^2} + {b^2}} }},$$ 0° < θ < 90°, then the value of secθ + tanθ is:
A. $$\frac{{\sqrt {{a^2} + {b^2}} + a}}{b}$$
B. $$\frac{{\sqrt {{a^2} + {b^2}} + b}}{{2a}}$$
C. $$\frac{{\sqrt {{a^2} + {b^2}} + a}}{{2b}}$$
D. $$\frac{{\sqrt {{a^2} + {b^2}} + b}}{a}$$
Answer: Option A
Solution(By Examveda Team)
$$\sin \theta = \frac{a}{{\sqrt {{a^2} + {b^2}} }}$$$$\eqalign{ & \sec \theta + \tan \theta \cr & = \frac{{\sqrt {{a^2} + {b^2}} }}{b} + \frac{a}{b} \cr & = \frac{{\sqrt {{a^2} + {b^2}} + a}}{b} \cr} $$
