[tex]\\ \rm\Rrightarrow \dfrac{cosx+tanx}{sinx}[/tex]

  • Break down

[tex]\\ \rm\Rrightarrow \dfrac{cosx}{sinx}+\dfrac{tanx}{sinx}[/tex]

[tex]\\ \rm\Rrightarrow cotx+\dfrac{sinx/cosx}{sinx}[/tex]

[tex]\\ \rm\Rrightarrow cotx+\dfrac{1}{cosx}[/tex]

[tex]\\ \rm\Rrightarrow cotx+secx[/tex]

Option A
