Q47 / 90 · JEE Main 2021 (01 Sep Shift 2) · Mathematics
Let be the acute angle between the tangents to the ellipse and the circle at their point of intersection in the first quadrant. Then is equal to :
- A
- B
- Correct answerC
- D
Solution
Given,
On solving equations , we get
Since, point of intersection in the first quadrant.
Put, in equation , we get .
Hence, the point of intersection of the curves and in the first quadrant is
Now, differentiate the equation on both sides with respect to , we get
Slope of tangent to the ellipse at is
Now, differentiate the equation on both sides with respect to , we get
Slope of tangent to the circle at is
So, if acute angle between both curves is then
Hence, the correct answer is option: 'C'.
