Q35 / 53 · NTA Abhyas (JEE Main) 2020 · Mathematics · Ellipse

The focal chord of the parabola y2=32x touches the ellipse x242+y222=1 in the first quadrant at the point

  • Correct answer
    A
    2,3
  • B
    32,32
  • C
    42,22
  • D
    22,42

Solution

Let the tangent to the ellipse at 4cos⁡θ,2sin⁡θ be
xcos⁡θ4+ysin⁡θ2=1
∵ it passes through the focus 8,0
⇒cos⁡θ=12⇒θ=π3
⇒ point is 42,232≡2,3

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'A'.
