Solution

The correct option is C 2tanθ
Here, x22xsecθ+1=0 has roots α1 and β1.
α1,β1=2secθ±4sec2θ42×1=2secθ±2|tanθ|2
Since, θ(π6,π12),
i.e. θIV quadrant =2secθ2tanθ2
α1=secθtanθ and β1=secθ+tanθ [as α1>β1] and x2+2xtanθ1=0 has roots α2 and β2.
i.e. α2.β2=2tanθ±4tan2θ+42
and α2=tanθ+secθ
β2=tanθsecθ[as α2>β2]
Thus, α1+β2=2tanθ
