Q45 / 90 · JEE Main 2023 (10 Apr Shift 1) · Mathematics
Let the ellipse intersect the positive - and -axes at the points and respectively. Let the major axis of be a diameter of the circle . Let the line passing through and meet the circle at the point . If the area of the triangle with vertices and the origin is , where and are coprime, then is equal to
- A
- B
- Correct answerC
- D
Solution
Given,
Ellipse
Now point which is the intersection of given ellipse with positive axis,
So, equation of line passing through is given by,
Now equation of Circle with diametric point is given by,
Let be foot of perpendicular from upon major axis,
So, from we get,
Hence,
Now Area of triangle will be,
Hence,
Hence, the correct answer is option: 'C'.
