Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\tan ^{-1}\left(\frac{24}{7 \sqrt{5}}\right)\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Equation of tangent to the ellipse \(2 x ^{2}+3 y ^{2}=5\) is \(y = mx \pm \sqrt{\frac{5}{2} m ^{2}+\frac{5}{3}}\) It pass through \((1,3)\) \(3=m \pm \sqrt{\frac{5}{2} m^{2}+\frac{5}{3}}\) \(3\,m^{2}+12\,m-\frac{44}{3}=0\) Let \(\theta\) be the angle between the tangents…
