Correct Answer: $\frac{25}{18}$


Solution : Given: $\sec^2 \theta+\tan^2 \theta=\frac{25}{18}$
To find: $\sec^4 \theta-\tan^4 \theta$
We know that $\sec^2 \theta-\tan^2 \theta=1$
Now, $\sec^4 \theta-\tan^4 \theta=(\sec^2 \theta+\tan^2 \theta)(\sec^2 \theta-\tan^2 \theta)$
$=(\frac{25}{18})(1)$
$=\frac{25}{18}$
Hence, the correct answer is $\frac{25}{18}$.
