answer is 4. but how are you choose the answer 8.

Question:
If θ be the acute angle such that tan θ = 1, then \(\cfrac{1-cos^4\theta}{cos^4\theta}+\cfrac{1+sin^4\theta}{sin^4\theta}\) is equal to:
Options:
A) (24 - 1) + \(\left ( \cfrac {9+2^4}{9} \right )\)
B) 8
C) 4
D) \(\cfrac{2^4-9}{9}+(2^4 + 1)\)
Solution:
Ans: (b)

Since

\(tan\ \theta=1=tan\ \cfrac{\pi}{4}\) 

\(\therefore \theta=\cfrac{\pi}{4}\) 

Hence \(\cfrac{1-cos^cos4\theta}{cos^4\theta}+\cfrac{1+sin^4\theta}{sin^4\theta}\)

\(=\cfrac{1-cos^4\left ( \cfrac {\pi}{4} \right )}{cos^4 \left ( \cfrac {\pi}{4} \right )}\ \ +\ \ \cfrac{1+ sin^4\left ( \cfrac {\pi}{4} \right )}{sin^4 \left ( \cfrac {\pi}{4} \right )}\)


\(=\cfrac{1-\left ( \cfrac {1}{\sqrt{2}} \right )^4}{\left ( \cfrac {1}{\sqrt{2}} \right )^4}\ \ +\ \ =\cfrac{1+\left ( \cfrac {1}{\sqrt{2}} \right )^4}{\left ( \cfrac {1}{\sqrt{2}} \right )^4} \ \ =\ \ \cfrac{1-\cfrac{1}{4}}{\cfrac{1}{4}}4\ \ + \ \ \cfrac{1+\cfrac{1}{4}}{\cfrac{1}{4}}\)
