Question
$(\sec A + \tan A - 1)(\sec A - \tan A + 1) - 2\tan A = $

Answer

c
(c) $(\sec A + \tan A - 1)(\sec A - \tan A + 1) - 2\tan A$

$ = ({\sec ^2}A - {\tan ^2}A) + \sec A + \tan A - \sec A$$ + \tan A - 1 - 2\tan A = 0$

                                           $( \because {\sec ^2}A - {\tan ^2}A = 1)$
