Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(\sqrt{2}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given two points \(\mathrm{P}(\theta)\) and \(\mathrm{Q}\left(\frac{\pi}{2}+\theta\right)\) are on the ellipse. Hence, \[ \mathrm{P}=(\mathrm{a} \cos \theta, \mathrm{b} \sin \theta), \mathrm{Q}=(-\mathrm{a} \sin \theta, \mathrm{b} \cos \theta) \] now mid point of \(P Q\)…
