Answer

Rationalize the expression,

(1sinA1+sinA)(1sinA1+sinA)×1sinA1sinA((1sinA)21sin2A)((1sinA)2cos2A)(1sinA)cosA1cosAsinAcosAsecAtanA\Rightarrow \sqrt{\Big(\dfrac{1 − \sin A}{1 + \sin A}\Big)} \\[1em] \Rightarrow \sqrt{\Big(\dfrac{1 − \sin A}{1 + \sin A}\Big) \times \dfrac{1 - \sin A}{1 - \sin A}} \\[1em] \Rightarrow \sqrt{\Big(\dfrac{(1 − \sin A)^2}{1 - \sin^2 A}\Big)} \\[1em] \Rightarrow \sqrt{\Big(\dfrac{(1 − \sin A)^2}{\cos^2 A}\Big)} \\[1em] \Rightarrow \dfrac{(1 − \sin A)}{\cos A} \\[1em] \Rightarrow \dfrac{1}{\cos A} − \dfrac{\sin A}{\cos A} \\[1em] \Rightarrow \sec A − \tan A

Hence, option 2 is the correct option.
