Answer
tan A - 2 cos A tan A+ 2 cos A - 1= 0
⇒ (tan A - 2 cos A tan A) + (2 cos A - 1) = 0
⇒ tan A(1 - 2 cos A) - 1 (1 - 2 cos A) = 0
⇒ (1 - 2 cos A)(tan A - 1) = 0
⇒ (1 - 2 cos A) = 0 or (tan A - 1) = 0
⇒ 2 cos A = 1 or tan A = 1
⇒ cos A = or tan A = 1
⇒ cos A = cos 60° or tan A = tan 45°
⇒ A = 60° or 45°
Hence, A = 60° or 45°.
