Solution

The correct option is A

2


Explanation for the correct option

Substitute the value of secθ=m and tanθ=n in 1m[(m+n)+1(m+n)], then

1m[(m+n)+1(m+n)]=1secθsecθ+tanθ+1secθ+tanθ=1secθsec2θ+tan2θ+2tanθsecθ+1secθ+tanθ

Put trigonometry identity tan2(θ)=sec2(θ)-1

1m[(m+n)+1(m+n)]=1secθsec2θ+sec2θ-1+2tanθsecθ+1secθ+tanθ=2sec2θ+2secθtanθsecθsecθ+tanθ

Take common 2secθ in the numerator,

1m[(m+n)+1(m+n)]=2secθsecθ+tanθsecθsecθ+tanθ=2

The value of 1mm+n+1m+n is equal to 2

Hence, option A is correct.
