Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\pm \sqrt{23}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

For \(\frac{x^2}{a^2}+\frac{y^2}{b^2}=1\) and \(y=m x+c\) is tangent Condition of tangency is \(\left(c^2=a^2 m^2+b^2\right)\) Here, \(\frac{x^2}{5}+\frac{y^2}{3}=1\) and \(y=2 x+k\) is a tangent…
