Solution

`bb(sec x = 1/2)`

Explanation:

\[\sin x = - \frac{1}{5}\] is correct as \[- 1 \leq \sin x \leq 1\]

cos x = 1 is correct as cos x = 1 is correct as

\[\sec x = \frac{1}{2}\] is not correct as \[\sec x \in ( - \infty , - 1] \cup [1, \infty )\]
tan x = 20 is correct as tan x can take any real value.
Hence, the correct answer is option \[\sec x = \frac{1}{2}\].
