1)

tan B = Opposite side/ Adjacent side

Here opposite side of B is b and adjacent side B is a 

tanB = b/a

Option B is correct .

2)

cos A = Adjacent side/ hypotenuse

Here adjacent side of A is 2 and hypotenuse of  A is 3

cos A =2/3

        =0.667

  A =   48.19                  

Option C is correct .
