Given:

4 sin2θ = 3 (1 + cos θ).

Formulas used:

sin2θ = 1 - cos2θ

tanθ = sinθ / cosθ 

secθ = 1 / cosθ 

Calculation:

⇒ 4(1 - cos2θ) = 3(1 + cosθ) 

⇒ 4(1 - cosθ)(1 + cosθ) = 3(1 + cosθ) 

⇒ 4(1 - cosθ) = 3

⇒ 4 - 4cosθ = 3

 ⇒ cosθ = 1 /4 

⇒ secθ = 4

⇒ sinθ = √ 15 / 4 

⇒ tanθ  = √ 15

\(\rm √{15}\tan \theta+\frac{4}{√{15}}\sin \theta+2\sec \theta\)

⇒ √15 × √15 + 4 / √15 × √15 / 4 + 2 × 4

⇒ 15 + 1 + 8

⇒ 24

∴ The correct answer is 24.
