Highly selective Backlog Qs for JEE MainMathematicsEllipse
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       . . i ∴ Equation of A M is x 3 + y 1 = 1       . . . ii On solving Eqs. (i) and (ii), we get M - 12 5 , 9 5 Now, area of Δ A O M = 1 2 O A × M N = 27 10 sq units Hence, option (d) is correct.
