Correct Answer: $-3, -1$
Solution : $2 \frac{\cos ^2 x-\sec ^2 x}{\tan ^2 x}$ = $2 \frac{\cos ^2 x-\frac{1}{\cos ^2 x}}{\tan ^2 x}$ = $2 \frac{\cos ^4 x - 1}{\tan ^2 x\cos ^2 x}$ = $2 \frac{(\cos ^2 x - 1)(\cos ^2 x + 1)}{\frac{\sin^2 x}{\cos^2 x}\cos ^2 x}$ We know that $\sin ^2 x + \cos ^2 x=1$ = $2 \frac{(-\sin ^2 x)(\cos ^2 x + 1)}{\sin^2 x}$ So, $2 \frac{\cos ^2 x-\sec ^2 x}{\tan ^2 x} = -2\cos ^2 x-2$ We know that $\cos ^2 x = \frac{(1+\cos 2x)}{2}$ So, $2 \frac{\cos ^2 x-\sec ^2 x}{\tan ^2 x} =-2\frac{(1+\cos 2x)}{2}-2=-3-\cos 2x$ Thus, $a+b\cos2x=-3-\cos 2x$ By comparing we get, $a = -3$ and $b= -1$ Hence, the correct answer is $-3, -1$.
