Let \(A_1\) be the area of the given ellipse \(\frac{x^2}{a^2}+\frac{y^2}{b^2}=1\). Let \(A_2\) be the area of the region bounded by the curve which is the locus of mid point of the line segment joining the focus of the ellipse and a point \(P\) on the given ellipse, then \(A_1: A_2\) \(=\)

  1. A \(3: 2\)
  2. B \(a:b\)
  3. C \(4: 1\)
  4. D \(2a:3b\)

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(4: 1\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(A_1 = \pi ab\) Let \(F=(ae,0)\) and \(P=(a \cos \theta, b \sin \theta)\). \(x_m = \frac{a \cos \theta + ae}{2}, y_m = \frac{b \sin \theta}{2}\) \(\cos \theta = \frac{2x_m-ae}{a}, \sin \theta = \frac{2y_m}{b}\)…
