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

Let the ellipse \(E : x ^2+9 y ^2=9\) intersect the positive \(x\) - and \(y\)-axes at the points \(A\) and \(B\) respectively Let the major axis of \(E\) be a diameter of the circle \(C\). Let the line passing through \(A\) and \(B\) meet the circle \(C\) at the point \(P\). If the area of the triangle which vertices \(A, P\) and the origin \(O\) is \(\frac{m}{n}\), where \(m\) and \(n\) are coprime, then \(m - n\) is equal to

  1. A \(18\)
  2. B \(16\)
  3. C \(17\)
  4. D \(15\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(17\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

For line \(AB x+3 y =3\) and circle is \(x ^2+ y ^2=9\) \((3-3 y)^2+y^2=9\) \(\Rightarrow 10 y^2-18 y=0\) \(\Rightarrow y=0, \frac{9}{5}\) \(\therefore \text { Area }=\frac{1}{2} \times 3 \times \frac{9}{5}=\frac{27}{10}\) \(m - n =17\)
