given sec θ + tan θ = 2 + √5-------(1)
we know that,
$$sec^{2}θ-tan^{2}θ=1$$
$$(sec θ + tan θ).(sec θ - tan θ)=1$$
(2 + √5).(sec θ - tan θ)=1
(sec θ - tan θ)=√5-2 ------(2)
on solving (1)&(2)
secθ=√5 $$\Rightarrow$$ cosθ=1/√5
tan θ=2 $$\Rightarrow$$ sin θ/cosθ=2 $$\Rightarrow$$ sinθ=2.cosθ $$\Rightarrow$$ sinθ =2/√5
$$\Rightarrow$$ sin θ + cos θ = 1/√5 + 2/√5
$$\Rightarrow$$ sin θ + cos θ = 3/√5
so the answer is option A.
