If the radius of the largest circle with centre (2,0)( 2, 0 ) inscribed in the ellipse x2+4y2=36{x}^{2} + 4{y}^{2} = 36 is rr, then 12r212{r}^{2} is equal to

Options

  1. A115115
  2. B9292
  3. C6969
  4. D7272

Correct answer

B. 9292

Step-by-step solution

Given equation of ellipse is x236+y29=1\dfrac{{x}^{2}}{36} + \dfrac{{y}^{2}}{9} = 1

It is of the form x2a2+y2b2=1\dfrac{{x}^{2}}{{a}^{2}} + \dfrac{{y}^{2}}{{b}^{2}} = 1

With a=6,b=3a = 6, b = 3.

The centre of the circle is C(2,0)C\left(2, 0\right).

Let P(acosθ,bsinθ)P\left(acos\theta, bsin\theta\right) be the common point for ellipse and circle.

P≡(6cosθ,3sinθ)P ≡ \left(6cos\theta, 3sin\theta\right)

Equation of normal to the ellipse will be axcosθ−bysinθ=a2−b2\dfrac{ax}{cos\theta} - \dfrac{by}{sin\theta} = {a}^{2} - {b}^{2}.

⇒6xsecθ−3ycosecθ=36−9⇒ 6xsec \theta - 3ycosec \theta = 36 - 9

But the normal through PP passes through the centre of the circle C(2,0)C\left(2, 0\right).

⇒6(2)secθ−3(0)cosecθ=27⇒ 6\left(2\right)sec \theta - 3\left(0\right)cosec \theta = 27

⇒secθ=2712⇒ sec \theta = \dfrac{27}{12}

⇒cosθ=49⇒ cos\theta = \dfrac{4}{9} and sinθ=659sin\theta = \dfrac{\sqrt{65}}{9}

P≡(6×49,3×659)P ≡ \left(6 \times \dfrac{4}{9}, 3 \times \dfrac{\sqrt{65}}{9}\right)

P≡(83,653)P ≡ \left(\dfrac{8}{3}, \dfrac{\sqrt{65}}{3}\right)

Now CP=r=(2−83)2+(0−653)2CP = r = \sqrt{{\left(2 - \dfrac{8}{3}\right)}^{2} + {\left(0 - \dfrac{\sqrt{65}}{3}\right)}^{2}}

⇒r2=699⇒ {r}^{2} = \dfrac{69}{9}

⇒12r2=12×699=92⇒ 12{r}^{2} = 12 \times \dfrac{69}{9} = 92

Therefore, the required answer is 9292
