Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) 37

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Equation of normal \(\begin{aligned} & y=m x \pm \frac{m\left(a^2-b^2\right)}{\sqrt{a^2+b^2 m^2}} \Rightarrow \frac{6}{5} x-4=y \\ & \Rightarrow m=\frac{6}{5} \end{aligned}\) Ellipse : \(x^2+3 y^2=k \frac{x^2}{k}+\frac{y^2}{k / 3}=1\)…
