Correct Answer: $\frac{11}{20}$


Solution : $\sin A=\frac{3}{5}$
$⇒\cos A = \sqrt{1-\sin^2A}$
$⇒\cos A = \sqrt{1-(\frac{3}{5})^2}$
$⇒\cos A = \sqrt{\frac{25-9}{25}}$
$⇒\cos A = \sqrt{\frac{16}{25}}$
$⇒\cos A = \frac{4}{5}$
We know, $\tan A = \frac{\sin A}{\cos A}$
$⇒\tan A = \frac{\frac{3}{5}}{\frac{4}{5}}$
$⇒\tan A = \frac{3}{4}$
So, $\cos A+\tan A-1 = \frac{4}{5} + \frac{3}{4} -1 = \frac{16+15-20}{20}= \frac{11}{20}$
Hence, the correct answer is $\frac{11}{20}$.
