Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\frac{b}{4 a}\left(a^2+b^2\right)\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Ellipse, \(\frac{x^2}{a^2}+\frac{y^2}{b^2}=1...(i)\) To find Equation of tangent and normal at point \(\left(\frac{a}{\sqrt{2}}, \frac{b}{\sqrt{2}}\right)\) We have to find \(\frac{d y}{d x}\). Slope of tangent…
