Question

A point on the ellipse  at a distance equal to the mean of lengths of the semi-major and semi-minor axis from the centre, is

Solution

Correct option is

 

Let  be a point on the given ellipse such that its distance from the centre (0, 0) of the ellipse is equal to the mean of the lengths of the semi-major and semi-minor axis i.e., 

        

    

  

  

  

  

Hence, the required points are given by 

      .
