Concept:

  • sin (A + B) = sin A cos B + cos A sin B  ___(1)
  • The sum of the three angles of a triangle is 180° 
  • sin(180 - θ) = sin θ  ___(2)

Calculation:

In triangle ABC, sum of angles = A + B + C = 180° 

⇒ B + C = 180 - A   ___(3)

Given, sec A (sin B cos C + cos B sin C)

⇒ sec A sin (B + C)     ∵ {Using (1)}

⇒ sec A. sin (180 - A)   ∵ {Using (2)}

⇒ sec A. sin A   ∵ {Using (3)}

⇒  \({\sin A \over \cos A }\)

⇒ tan A

∴ The correct answer is option (3).
