JEE Mains · Maths · STD 11 - 10.2 parabola,ellipse,hyperbola

If the radius of the largest circle with centre \((2,0)\) inscribed in the ellipse \(x^2+4 y^2=36\) is \(r\), then \(12 r^2\) is equal to

  1. A \(72\)
  2. B \(115\)
  3. C \(92\)
  4. D \(69\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(92\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\((x-2)^2+y^2=r^2\) Solving with ellipse, we get \((x-2)^2+\frac{36-x^2}{4}=r^2\) \(3 x^2-16 x+52-4 r^2=0\) \(D=0 \Rightarrow 4 r^2=\frac{92}{3}\)
