The acute angle between the pair of tangents drawn to the ellipse from the point is
Options
- A
- B
- C
- D
Correct answer
B.
Step-by-step solution
Let equation of tangents to the ellipse be
Since the tangents pass through \left(1, 3\right)3 = m \pm \sqrt{\dfrac{15{m}^{2} + 10}{6}}⇒ 9{m}^{2} + 36m - 44 = 0\thetatan\theta = \left|\dfrac{{m}_{1} - {m}_{2}}{1 + {m}_{1}{m}_{2}}\right|
i.e.
\tan^{- 1}\left(\dfrac{24}{7\sqrt{5}}\right)
