JEE Advanced2009MathematicsEllipseActual
The line passing through the extremity A of the major axis and extremity B of the minor axis of the ellipse x^2+9 y^2=9 meets its auxiliary circle at the point M . Then, the area of the triangle with vertices at A, M and the origin O is
Options
- A31 10
- B29 10
- C21 10
- D27 10
Correct answer
D. 27 10
Step-by-step solution
Equation of auxiliary circle is x^2+y^2=9 Equation of A M is x 3 + y 1 =1 On solving Eqs. (i) and (ii), we get Coordinates of M= (- 12 5 , 9 5 ) Now, area of A O M= 1 2 O A M N= 27 10 sq units
