Options
True
False

Solution
This statement is False.
Explanation:
L.H.S = (tan θ + 2)(2 tan θ + 1)
= 2 tan2 θ + tan θ + 4 tan θ + 2
= 2 tan2θ + 5 tan θ + 2
Since, sec2θ – tan2θ = 1, we get, tan2θ = sec2θ – 1
= 2(sec2θ – 1) + 5 tan θ + 2
= 2 sec2θ – 2 + 5 tan θ + 2
= 5 tan θ + 2 sec2 θ ≠ R.H.S
∴ L.H.S ≠ R.H.S
