Correct Answer: $\frac{3}{2}$
Solution : $\sqrt{2} \sec ^2 \theta-4 \sec \theta+2 \sqrt{2}=0$ $⇒\sqrt{2} \sec ^2 \theta-2 \sec \theta-2 \sec \theta+2 \sqrt{2}=0$ $⇒\sqrt{2} \sec \theta( \sec \theta-\sqrt2)-2( \sec \theta- \sqrt{2})=0$ $⇒( \sec \theta-\sqrt2)(\sqrt{2} \sec \theta-2)=0$ $⇒( \sec \theta-\sqrt2)=0$ $⇒ \sec \theta=\sqrt2=\sec 45^\circ$ $⇒ \theta=45^\circ$ $\therefore\sin ^2 \theta+\tan ^2 \theta=\sin ^2 45^\circ+\tan ^245^\circ=\frac{1}{2}+1=\frac{3}{2}$ Hence, the correct answer is $\frac{3}{2}$.
