Correct Answer: $\frac{119}{60}$


Solution :
Given: PQ = 5 cm
QR = 13 cm
$\angle P=90^{\circ}$
In $\triangle PQR$,
$RQ^2=PQ^2+PR^2$
⇒ $13^2=5^2+PR^2$
⇒ $PR^2=169-25$
⇒ $PR^2=144$
$\therefore PR = 12$
Now, $\tan Q-\tan R$
$=\frac{12}{5}-\frac{5}{12}$
$=\frac{144-25}{60}$
$=\frac{119}{60}$
Hence, the correct answer is $\frac{119}{60}$.
