\begin{gathered} 10{\sin }^{4}\theta +15{\cos }^{4}\theta =6 \\ \Rightarrow 10{\sin }^{4}\theta +10{\cos }^{4}\theta +5{\cos }^{4}\theta =6 \\ \Rightarrow 10[{({\sin }^{2}\theta +{\cos }^{2}\theta )}^{2}-2{\sin }^{2}\theta {\cos }^{2}\theta ]+5{\cos }^{4}\theta =6 \\ \Rightarrow 10-20(1-{\cos }^{2}\theta ){\cos }^{2}\theta +5{\cos }^{4}\theta =6 \\ {\cos }^{2}\theta =x \\ 10-20(x-{x}^{2})+5{x}^{2}=6
⇒25x2−20x+4=0(5x−2)2=0⇒x=52⇒cos2θ=52⇒sin2θ=53,sec2θ=25,csc2θ=35
\frac{27{\csc }^{6}\theta +8{\sec }^{6}\theta }{16{\sec }^{8}\theta } =\frac{27{(\frac{5}{3})}^{3}+8{(\frac{5}{2})}^{3}}{16{(\frac{5}{2})}^{4}} \\ =\frac{{5}^{3}+{5}^{3}}{{5}^{4}}=\frac{{2.5}^{3}}{{5}^{4}}=\frac{2}{5} \end{gathered}
