$f (x) = 16 ({(\sec^{- 1} x)}^{2} + {({cosec}^{- 1} x)}^{2})$

$= 16 [(\sec^{- 1} x + {{cosec}^{- 1} x)}^{2} - 2 \sec^{- 1} x {cosec}^{- 1} x]$

$= 16 [{(\frac{π}{2})}^{2} - 2 (\frac{π}{2} - {cosec}^{- 1} x) {cosec}^{- 1} x]$

$= 16 [\frac{π^{2}}{4} - π {cosec}^{- 1} x + 2 {({cosec}^{- 1} x)}^{2}]$

$= 32 [{({cosec}^{- 1} x)}^{2} - \frac{π}{2} {cosec}^{- 1} x + \frac{π^{2}}{8}]$

$\Rightarrow f (x) = 32 [{({cosec}^{- 1} x - \frac{π}{4})}^{2} + \frac{π^{2}}{16}]$

f(x) is maximum when x = –1

$∴ f_{m a x} = 32 \times 10 \frac{π^{2}}{16}$

f(x) is minimum when $x = \sqrt{2}$

$∴ f_{\min} = 32 \times \frac{π^{2}}{16}$

$∴$ Required sum $= 32 \times 10 \frac{π^{2}}{16} + 32 \times \frac{π^{2}}{16} = 22 π^{2}$
