If is the angle between the pair of tangents drawn to the ellipse from the point then the value of is equal to
Correct answer
28.8
Step-by-step solution
The equation of the tangent to in slope form is
If it passes through \left(1,2\right){\left(2 - m\right)}^{2} = \dfrac{5}{3}{m}^{2} + \dfrac{5}{2}⇒ \dfrac{2{m}^{2}}{3} + 4m - \dfrac{3}{2} = 0⇒ {m}_{1} + {m}_{2} = - \dfrac{4}{\dfrac{2}{3}} \text{} {m}_{1}{m}_{2} = - \dfrac{\dfrac{3}{2}}{\dfrac{2}{3}}⇒ {m}_{1} + {m}_{2} = - 6 \text{} {m}_{1}{m}_{2} = - \dfrac{9}{4}
