Question

P is a variable point on the ellipse  with AA’ as the major axis. Then, the maximum value of the area of the triangleAPA’ is   

Solution

Correct option is

ab

 

The maximum area corresponds to when P is at either end of the minor axis and hence for such a position of P, 

We have

        .
