Question

The point of intersection of the perpendicular tangents to the ellipse  lies on a circle square of whose radius is

 

Solution

Correct option is

2906

Any tangent to the ellipse is

         and perpendicular to it is

        

Eliminating m we get the locus of the point of intersection of these tangents.

        (y – mx)2 + (mx + x)2 = (1 + m2)[(41)2 + (35)2]

     x2 + y2 = (41)2 + (35)2 which is a circle square of whose radius = (41)2 + (35)2 = 1681 + 1225 = 2906.
