Question

If p and p’ denote the lengths of the perpendicular from a focus and the centre of an ellipse with semi-major axis of length a, respectively, on a tangent to the ellipse and r denotes the focal distance of the point, then     

Solution

Correct option is

 

Let the ellipse be  and, let 

         

  

       p = Length of the perpendicular from S(ae, 0) on (i) 

  

       p' = Length of the perpendicular from O(0, 0) on (i)
