Let and be two ellipse whose centers are at the origin. The major axes of lie along the x - axis and the y - axis, respectively. Let S be the circle The straight line touches the curves and at and respectively. Suppose that If and are the eccentricities of and respectively, then the correct expression(s) is(are)
- Correct answerA
- Correct answerB
- C
- D
Solution
Let Q be
So equation tangent at Q will be
Comparing with
So R and Q will be
Let Q lies on
So tangent at P is
Comparing with
And R lies on
So tangent at
Comparing with
So equation tangent at Q will be
Comparing with
So R and Q will be
Let Q lies on
So tangent at P is
Comparing with
And R lies on
So tangent at
Comparing with
Hence, the correct answer is options: 'A', 'B'.
