  1. A \(24 \pi^2\)
  2. B \(22 \pi^2\)
  3. C \(31 \pi^2\)
  4. D \(18 \pi^2\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(22 \pi^2\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\begin{aligned} & 16\left(\sec ^{-1} x\right)^2+\left(\operatorname{cosec}^{-1} x\right)^2 \\ & \operatorname{Sec}^{-1} x=a \in[0, \pi]-\left\{\frac{\pi}{2}\right\} \\ & \operatorname{cosec}^{-1} x=\frac{\pi}{2}-a \\ & =16\left[a^2+\left(\frac{\pi}{2}-a\right)^2\right]=16\left[2…
