Correct Answer

(C) \((0,0)\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given equation of ellipse \(\frac{x^2}{25}+\frac{y^2}{16}=1\) Let \(P(5 \cos \theta, 4 \sin \theta)\) be a point on \(16 x^2+25 y^2=400\). The equation of the tangent at \(P\) is \(4 x \cos \theta+5 y \sin \theta=20\) This meets the coordinate axes at \(A(5 \sec \theta, 0)\) and…
