The tangent to the ellipse \(9 x^2+16 y^2=288\) making equal intercepts on the co-ordinate axes intersects the X -axis and the Y -axis in the points \(A\) and \(B\) respectively. Then \(A(\triangle O A B)=\) (where O is origin)

  1. A \(\frac{25}{2}\) sq. units
  2. B 25 sq. units
  3. C \(\frac{25 \sqrt{5}}{2}\) sq. units
  4. D \(25 \sqrt{5}\) sq. units
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) 25 sq. units

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Equation of ellipse: \( \frac{x^2}{32} + \frac{y^2}{18} = 1 \). For equal intercepts, slope \(m = -1\).
