Correct Answer: $2\sqrt{5}$
Solution : $\sec x- \cos x$ = $4$ ⇒ $(\sec x- \cos x)^2$ = $4^2$ ⇒ $\sec^2 x- 2\sec x \cos x+\cos^2 x $ = $16$ ⇒ $\sec^2 x+\cos^2 x $ = $16+2\sec x \cos x$ ⇒ $\sec^2 x+\cos^2 x + 2\sec x \cos x$ = $16+2\sec x \cos x+2\sec x \cos x$ Since $\sec x \cos x$ = 1, So, $(\sec x+ \cos x)^2$ = $16+2+2$ ⇒ $(\frac{1}{\cos x}+ \cos x)^2$ = $20$ ⇒ $(\frac{1+ \cos^2 x}{\cos x})$ = $\sqrt{20}$ = $2\sqrt5$ Hence, the correct answer is $2\sqrt5$.
