The line y = x + 1 meets the ellipse x 2 4 + y 2 2 = 1 at two points P and Q . If r is the radius of the circle with P Q as diameter then 3 r 2 is equal to
Options
- A20
- B12
- C11
- D8
Correct answer
A. 20
Step-by-step solution
Plotting the diagram of given data we have, Let P be the point - 1 + p 2 , p 2 Since it lies on the ellipse x 2 4 + y 2 2 = 1 , we get - 1 + p 2 2 4 + p 2 2 2 = 1   ⇒ 3 p 2 8 - p 2 2 - 3 4 = 0 Here p 1 - p 2 2 = 2 2 3 2 - 4 - 2 = 8 9 + 8 = 80 9 We know, p 1 - p 2 2 = P Q 2 ⇒   P Q 2 = 80 9 Now r = P Q 2 ⇒ 9 r 2 = 9 P Q 2 4 = 9 4 × 80 9 = 20
