Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) 1

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given equation of parabola is \(y^2=4 a x\), then slope of tangent to be given parabola at point of intersection \(\left(a t^2, 2 a t\right)\) is \(m_1=\frac{1}{t^{\prime}}\), and slope of tangent to the given ellipse \(\frac{x^2}{a^2}+\frac{y^2}{b^2}=1\) at point of…
