Let \(L\) be a tangent line to the parabola \(y^{2}=4 x-20\) at \((6,2)\) . If \(L\) is also a tangent to the ellipse \(\frac{ x ^{2}}{2}+\frac{ y ^{2}}{ b }=1,\) then the value of \(b\) is equal to ..... .

  1. A \(11\)
  2. B \(14\)
  3. C \(16\)
  4. D \(20\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(14\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Tangent to parabola \(2 y=2(x+6)-20\) \(\Rightarrow y=x-4\) Condition of tangency for ellipse. \(16=2(1)^{2}+ b\) \(\Rightarrow b =14\)
