Solution

The correct option is C 5
For sinx=1213
Base =132122=5

Case 1: When x[0,π2]
In first quadrant, both secx and tanx are positive.
secx=135, tanx=125tanx+secx=5

Case 2: When x(π2,π]
In second quadrant, both secx and tanx are negative.
secx=135, tanx=125tanx+secx=5


Alternate solution:
Given sinx=1213
tanx+secx=sinxcosx+1cosx=1+sinxcosx=2513cosx=25±131sin2x=25±13×513=±5
