    Question

    If sec A + tan A = (5/2) and sec A - tan A = (2/5), find

    the value of cos A.

    B 29/20 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 5/13 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 12/13 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    sec A + tan A = (5/2) ---------- (I) sec A - tan A = (2/5) --------- (II) on adding (I) and (II) , we get; 2sec A = (29/10) Or, sec A = (29/20) So, cos A = (1/sec A) = (20/29)
