Correct Answer: $\sqrt{2}\sin A$
Solution :
$\cos A+\sin A = \sqrt{2}\cos A$
$⇒\sin A = (\sqrt{2}-1)\cos A$
$⇒\frac {\sin A}{\cos A}=\sqrt{2}-1$
$⇒\frac {\sin A}{\cos A}=(\sqrt{2}-1)×\frac{(\sqrt{2}+1)}{(\sqrt{2}+1)}$
$⇒\frac {\sin A}{\cos A}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}+1}$
$⇒\cos A=(\sqrt{2}+1)\sin A$
$⇒\cos A=\sqrt{2}\sin A+\sin A$
$⇒\cos A - \sin A = \sqrt{2}\sin A$
Hence, the correct answer is $\sqrt{2}\sin A$.
