Correct Answer: Option C
Explanation

tan\(\theta\) = \(\frac{3}{4}\)

from Pythagoras tippet, the hypotenus is T

i.e. 3, 4, 5.

then sin \(\theta\) = \(\frac{3}{5}\) and cos\(\theta\) = \(\frac{4}{5}\)

cos\(\theta\) - sin\(\theta\)

\(\frac{4}{5}\) - \(\frac{3}{5}\) = \(\frac{1}{5}\)

There is an explanation video available below.
