  1. A \(x^2+y^2=13\)
  2. B \(x^2-y^2=5\)
  3. C \(x+y=5\)
  4. D \(\frac{x^2}{9}+\frac{y^2}{4}=1\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(x^2+y^2=13\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

We have, ellipse \[ \begin{aligned} 4 x^2+9 y^2 & =36 \\ \Rightarrow \quad \frac{x^2}{9}+\frac{y^2}{4} & =1 \quad \Rightarrow \quad \frac{x^2}{3^2}+\frac{y^2}{2^2}=1 \end{aligned} \] So, \(\quad a^2=9\) and \(b^2=4\). The points of intersection of the perpendicular tangents lie…
