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

Let \(\theta\) be the acute angle between the tangents to the ellipse \(\frac{x^{2}}{9}+\frac{y^{2}}{1}=1\) and the circle \(x^{2}+y^{2}=3\) at their point of intersection in the first quadrant. Then \(\tan \theta\) is equal to :

  1. A \(\frac{5}{2 \sqrt{3}}\)
  2. B \(\frac{2}{\sqrt{3}}\)
  3. C \(\frac{4}{\sqrt{3}}\)
  4. D \(2\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\frac{2}{\sqrt{3}}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The point of intersection of the curves \(\frac{x^{2}}{9}+\frac{y^{2}}{1}=1\) and \(x^{2}+y^{2}=3\) in the first quadrant is \(\left(\frac{3}{2}, \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\right)\) Now slope of tangent to the ellipse \(\frac{x^{2}}{9}+\frac{y^{2}}{1}=1\) at…
