SSC Selection Post - Higher Secondary Level - 25th July 2025 - Shift 2 • Quantitative Aptitude • Q37

If sin A=3/5, and A is acute, then cos A + tan A is :

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

sin A = 3/5

cos A = √(1 − sin²A) = √(1 − 9/25) = √(16/25) = 4/5

tan A = sin A / cos A = (3/5) ÷ (4/5) = 3/4
cos A + tan A = 4/5 + 3/4 = 16/20 + 15/20 = 31/20
