If sin θ + cos θ = 129\frac{1}{29} find the value of sinθ+cosθsinθ−cosθ\frac{sinθ + cosθ}{sin θ - cos θ}

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e.  141\frac{1}{41}

If sin θ + cos θ = 129\frac{1}{29} 

a sin θ + b cos θ = c

a sin θ - b cos θ = d

then the value of a2 + b2 = c2 + d2

sin θ + cos θ = 129\frac{1}{29} 

sin θ - cos θ = d

Where, a = 1, b = 1 and c = 1/29

So,  1 + 1 = 1/841 + d2

d2 = 2 - 1/841 

d = 41/29

Hence, sinθ+cosθsinθ−cosθ\frac{sinθ + cosθ}{sin θ - cos θ}= (1/29)/(41/29) = 141\frac{1}{41}
