Solution : Given: $\sec \theta+\cos \theta=32$
Squaring both sides, we have,
⇒ $(\sec \theta+\cos \theta)^{2}=32^{2}$
⇒ $\sec^{2} \theta+\cos^{2} \theta+2\sec\theta\cos\theta=1024$
⇒ $\sec^{2} \theta+\cos^{2} \theta+2=1024$
⇒ $\sec^{2} \theta+\cos^{2} \theta=1022$
Hence, the correct answer is 1022.
