Let \(S\) and \(S^{\prime}\) be the foci of the ellipse \(\frac{x^2}{25}+\frac{y^2}{9}=1\) and \(P (\alpha, \beta)\) be a point on the ellipse in the first quadrant. If \(( SP )^2+\left( S ^{\prime} P \right)^2- SP \cdot S ^{\prime} P =37\), then \(\alpha^2+\beta^2\) is equal to :

  1. A 15
  2. B 11
  3. C 17
  4. D 13
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) 13

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\because P\) lies on ellipse \(\Rightarrow \frac{\alpha^2}{25}+\frac{\beta^2}{9}=1\) \(\because P S+P S^{\prime}=2 a \Rightarrow P S+P S^{\prime}=10\) \(\therefore( PS )^2+\left( PS ^{\prime}\right)^2- PS \cdot PS ^{\prime}=37\)…
