Option 1: $\frac{\sin A-1}{\cos A}$

Option 2: $\frac{1-\sin A}{\cos A}$

Option 3: $\frac{1-\cos A}{\sin A}$

Correct Answer: $\frac{\sin A-1}{\cos A}$


Solution : Given: $\frac{\tan A-\sec A-1}{\tan A+\sec A+1}$
= $\frac{\tan A-\sec A-(\sec^{2} A-\tan^{2} A)}{\tan A+\sec A+1}$
= $\frac{(\tan A-\sec A)-(\sec A-\tan A)(\sec A+\tan A)}{\tan A+\sec A+1}$
= $\frac{(\tan A-\sec A)+(\tan A-\sec A)(\sec A+\tan A)}{\tan A+\sec A+1}$
= $\frac{(\tan A-\sec A)(1+\sec A+\tan A)}{\tan A+\sec A+1}$
= $\tan A-\sec A$
= $\frac{\sin A}{\cos A}-\frac{1}{\cos A}$
= $\frac{\sin A-1}{\cos A}$
Hence, the correct answer is $\frac{\sin A-1}{\cos A}$.
