(A) Given that $\sin A, \cos A, \tan A$ are in $G.P.$Therefore,the square of the middle term is equal to the product of the extremes:$\cos^2 A = \sin A \cdot \tan A$Substitute $\tan A = \frac{\sin A}{\cos A}$:$\cos^2 A = \sin A \cdot \frac{\sin A}{\cos A}$$\cos^3 A = \sin^2 A$Using the identity $\sin^2 A = 1 - \cos^2 A$:$\cos^3 A = 1 - \cos^2 A$Rearranging the terms:$\cos^3 A + \cos^2 A = 1$
