Correct Answer: $2 \frac{2}{5}$


Solution :
In $\triangle \mathrm{ABC}$, $\tan \mathrm{A}=\frac{3}{4}$
Let the length of sides $BC$ and $BA$ be $3k$ and $4k$.
By Pythagoras theorem,
$AC^2=BC^2+BA^2$
⇒ $AC^2=3k^2+4k^2$
⇒ $AC^2=25k^2$
⇒ $AC=5k$
⇒ $\sin A = \frac{BC}{AC}$
⇒ $\sin A = \frac{3k}{5k}$
⇒ $\sin A = \frac{3}{5}$
⇒ $​​​​​​​\sin C = \frac{BA}{AC}$
⇒ $​​​​​​​\sin A = \frac{4k}{5k}$
⇒ $​​​​​​​\sin A = \frac{4}{5}$
So, $​​​​​​​\sin A+ \sin B +\sin C= \frac{3}{5}+1+​​​​​\frac{4}{5}= \frac{12}{5}=2\frac{2}{5}$
​​​​​​​Hence, the correct answer is $2\frac{2}{5}$.
