Q.
Assertion (A): The secant of an angle is the reciprocal of the cosine of that angle.

Reason (R): Secant is defined as the ratio of the hypotenuse to the base of the triangle.

1 Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A

2 Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A.

3 A is true, but R is false

4 A is false, but R is true

Ans.
(1)

Both the assertion and the reason are correct. The secant of an angle is indeed the reciprocal of the cosine, and the definition provided in the reason accurately reflects this relationship.
