The line 2x+y=32x + y = 3 cuts the ellipse 4x2+y2=54{x}^{2} + {y}^{2} = 5 at points PP and QQ. If θ\theta is the acute angle between the normals at PP and QQ, then θ\theta is equal to

Options

  1. Atan⁡−1(53)\tan^{- 1} \left(\dfrac{5}{3}\right)
  2. Bsin⁡−1(334)\sin^{- 1} \left(\dfrac{3}{\sqrt{34}}\right)
  3. Ccos⁡−1(334)\cos^{- 1} \left(\dfrac{3}{\sqrt{34}}\right)
  4. Dcot⁡−1(34)\cot^{- 1} \left(\dfrac{3}{4}\right)

Correct answer

B. sin⁡−1(334)\sin^{- 1} \left(\dfrac{3}{\sqrt{34}}\right)

Step-by-step solution

Solving y=3−2xy = 3 - 2x and 4x2+y2=5,4{x}^{2} + {y}^{2} = 5, we get the intersection points $P(12,2)P\left(\dfrac{1}{2}, 2\right) and Q(1,1)Q\left(1,1\right)
The equations of the tangents at these points are 4x(12)+2y=54x\left(\dfrac{1}{2}\right) + 2y = 5 and 4(x)(1)+y(1)=54\left(x\right)\left(1\right) + y\left(1\right) = 5
⇒⇒ The slopes of the tangents at P and QP \text{ and } Q are −1 and −4- 1 \text{ and } - 4 respectively
⇒⇒ The slopes of the normals at P and QP \text{ and } Q are 1 and 141 \text{ and } \dfrac{1}{4} respectively
⇒tanθ=∣1−141+1(14)∣=35⇒θ=tan⁡−135⇒ tan \theta = \left|\dfrac{1 - \dfrac{1}{4}}{1 + 1\left(\dfrac{1}{4}\right)}\right| = \dfrac{3}{5} ⇒ \theta = \tan^{- 1} \dfrac{3}{5}
$⇒ cos \theta = \dfrac{5}{\sqrt{34}}, sin \theta = \dfrac{3}{\sqrt{34}} ⇒ \theta = \sin^{- 1} \dfrac{3}{\sqrt{34}}
