Correct Answer: $\left(4+Q^2\right)^{\frac{3}{2}}$
Solution : Consider, $\sec \alpha+\tan ^3 \alpha \operatorname{cosec} \alpha$ = $\frac{1}{\cos\alpha}+\frac{\sin^3\alpha}{\cos^3\alpha}\times\frac{1}{\sin\alpha}$ = $\frac{1}{\cos\alpha}+\frac{\sin^2\alpha}{\cos^3\alpha}$ = $\frac{\cos^2\alpha+\sin^2\alpha}{\cos^3\alpha}$ = $\frac{1}{\cos^3\alpha}$ [Using $\cos^2\alpha+\sin^2\alpha = 1$] ....................(1) Now consider, $\tan ^2 \alpha=3+Q^2$ ⇒ $\tan\alpha = \sqrt{3+Q^2}$ Let base ($b$) = 1 and perpendicular ($p$) = $\sqrt{3+Q^2}$ Applying Pythagoras Theorem, $h^2=p^2+b^2$ [where $h,p,$ and $b$ are hypotenuse, perpendicular and base respectively.] ⇒ $h=\sqrt{1+3+Q^2}$ ⇒ $h=\sqrt{4+Q^2}$ ⇒ $\cos\alpha = \frac{b}{h}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{4+Q^2}}$ Putting in (1), we get, $\frac{1}{\cos^3\alpha}=\frac{1}{(\frac{1}{\sqrt{4+Q^2}})^3} = (4+Q^2)^{\frac{3}{2}}$ Hence, the correct answer is $(4+Q^2)^{\frac{3}{2}}$.
