Q40 / 60 · JEE Advanced 2013 (Paper 1) · Mathematics
A vertical line passing through the point intersects the ellipse at the points and . Let the tangents to the ellipse at and meet at the point . If area of triangle and , then
Correct answer: 9
Solution
Point of intersection of tangents at P and Q is
Area of
; where
Now
As increases, increases when cos decreases, increases
Now
Hence, the correct answer is 9.
