Correct Answer: $\cos ^2 \theta+\cos ^4 \theta=1$


Solution : $\tan ^2 \theta+\tan ^4 \theta=1$
⇒ $\tan^2\theta(1+\tan^2\theta) = 1$
⇒ $\tan^2\theta(1+\frac{\sin^2\theta}{\cos^2\theta}) = 1$
⇒ $\frac{\sin^2\theta}{\cos^2\theta}(\frac{cos^2\theta + \sin^2\theta}{\cos^2\theta}) = 1$
⇒ $\frac{\sin^2\theta}{\cos^2\theta}(\frac{1}{\cos^2\theta}) = 1$
⇒ $\sin^2\theta = \cos^4\theta$
⇒ $1-\cos^2\theta = \cos^4\theta$
⇒ $\cos^4\theta + \cos^2\theta = 1$
Hence, the correct answer is $\cos^2\theta + \cos^4\theta = 1$.
