If A= (x, y): x^2+y^2=25 and B= (x, y): x^2+9y^2=144 ; then A B contains
Options
- Aone point
- Bthree points
- Ctwo points
- Dfour points
Correct answer
D. four points
Step-by-step solution
Clearly, A is the set of all points on the circle x^2+y^2=25 and B is the set of all points on the ellipse x^2+9 y^2=144 . These two intersect at four points P, Q, R and S . Hence, A B contains four points.
