If $\sec \theta+\tan \theta=\frac{1}{3}$, then the quadrant in which $2 \theta$ lies is
- $1^{\text {st }}$ quadrant
- $2^{\text {nd }}$ quadrant
- $3^{\text {rd }}$ quadrant
- $4^{\text {th }}$ quadrant
Solution
From (i) - (ii) $\begin{aligned} & 2 \tan \theta=\frac{1}{3}-3=\frac{-8}{3} \Rightarrow \tan \theta=\frac{-4}{3} \\ & \tan 2 \theta=\frac{\frac{-8}{3}}{1-\frac{16}{9}}=\frac{24}{7}\gt0 \end{aligned}$ $2 \theta$ lies in $3^{\text {rd }}$ quadrants
