The acute angle between the pair of tangents drawn to the ellipse 2x2+3y2=52{x}^{2} + 3{y}^{2} = 5 from the point (1,3)\left(1, 3\right) is

Options

  1. Atan⁡−1(1675)\tan^{- 1}\left(\dfrac{16}{7\sqrt{5}}\right)
  2. Btan⁡−1(2475)\tan^{- 1}\left(\dfrac{24}{7\sqrt{5}}\right)
  3. Ctan⁡−1(3275)\tan^{- 1}\left(\dfrac{32}{7\sqrt{5}}\right)
  4. Dtan⁡−1(3+8535)\tan^{- 1}\left(\dfrac{3 + 8\sqrt{5}}{35}\right)

Correct answer

B. tan⁡−1(2475)\tan^{- 1}\left(\dfrac{24}{7\sqrt{5}}\right)

Step-by-step solution

Let equation of tangents to the ellipse x252+y253=1\dfrac{{x}^{2}}{\dfrac{5}{2}} + \dfrac{{y}^{2}}{\dfrac{5}{3}} = 1 be y=mx±52m2+53y = mx \pm \sqrt{\dfrac{5}{2}{m}^{2} + \dfrac{5}{3}}

Since the tangents pass through \left(1, 3\right),so</p><p>, so </p><p>3 = m \pm \sqrt{\dfrac{15{m}^{2} + 10}{6}}</p><p></p><p>⇒ 9{m}^{2} + 36m - 44 = 0</p><p>Let</p><p>Let\thetabetheanglebetweenthetangents,so</p><p>be the angle between the tangents, so </p><p>tan\theta = \left|\dfrac{{m}_{1} - {m}_{2}}{1 + {m}_{1}{m}_{2}}\right|

i.e. tanθ=∣42+4(449)1−449∣=24535tan\theta = \left|\dfrac{\sqrt{{4}^{2} + 4\left(\dfrac{44}{9}\right)}}{1 - \dfrac{44}{9}}\right| = \dfrac{24\sqrt{5}}{35}

⇒θ=⇒ \theta =\tan^{- 1}\left(\dfrac{24}{7\sqrt{5}}\right)
