Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) 8

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

If a line \(y=m x+c\) is tangent to the ellipse \(\frac{x^2}{a^2}+\frac{y^2}{b^2}=1\), then \(c^2=a^2 m^2+b^2\) \(\therefore 4 x+y+p=0\) or \(y=-4 x-p\) will be tangent to the ellipse \(x^2+3 y^2=3\) or \(\frac{x^2}{3}+\frac{y^2}{1}=1\), then…
