Correct Answer: $\frac{25}{12}$
Solution :
Given: $\cos x+\sec x=\frac{7}{2 \sqrt{3}}$
Squaring both sides,
$(\cos x+\sec x)^2=(\frac{7}{2 \sqrt{3}})^2$
⇒ $\cos^2 x+\sec^2 x +2= \frac{49}{12}$ (Since $\cos x×\sec x=1)$
⇒ $\cos^2 x+\sec^2 x = \frac{49}{12}-2$
⇒ $\cos^2 x+\sec^2 x= \frac{25}{12}$
Hence, the correct answer is $\frac{25}{12}$.
