The line 2 x + y = 3 interesects the ellipse 4 x 2 + y 2 = 5 at two points. The point of intersection of the tangents to the ellipse at these points is
Options
- A5 6 , 5 6
- B5 3 , 5 6
- C5 6 , 5 3
- D5 3 , 5 3
Correct answer
C. 5 6 , 5 3
Step-by-step solution
Let the required point be h , k . Now from this point, the equation of chord of contact to the ellipse is T = 0 ⇒ 4 hx + ky = 5 which is same as 2 x + y = 3 ⇒ 4 h 2 = k 1 = 5 3 ⇒ h = 5 6 ,   k = 5 3 ⇒ Point of intersection of the tangents is 5 6 , 5 3
