If two points are taken on the minor axis of the ellipse \dfrac{x^{2}}{25} + \dfrac{y^{2}}{9} = 1$ at the same distance from the centre as the foci, then the sum of the squares of the perpendicular distances from these points on any tangent to the ellipse is

D80
Correct answer
C. 50
Step-by-step solution
Given ellipse is& 25x2+9y2=1 … \left(1\right)<br/>e = \sqrt{1 - \dfrac{9}{25}} = \dfrac{4}{5}<br/>S\left(0,5\left(\dfrac{4}{5}\right)\right) = S ( 0,4 )<br/>S^{'}\left(0, - 5\left(\dfrac{4}{5}\right)\right) = S^{'} ( 0, - 4 )<br/><imgsrc="/api/proxy−image?url=httpsy = mx + \sqrt{25m^{2} + 9}where,misaparameter.</p><p>Now,thesumofthesquaresof⊥~distances on this tangent from the points&S and S^{'} is =(m2+1m(0)−4+25m2+9)2+(m2+1m(0)+4+25m2+9)2 =(m2+1)2{42+(25m2+9)}=50
