Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\sqrt{2} x-2 y+1=0\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given ellipse \(2 x^2+y^2=2 \text { or } x^2+\frac{y^2}{2}=1\) Here, \(\quad a^2=1, b^2=2\) Equation of tangent \(x+2 y+k=0 \text { or } 2 y=-x-k\) or \(\quad y=-\frac{x}{2}-\frac{k}{2}\) Here, \(c=\frac{-k}{2}, m=-\frac{1}{2}\) From the condition of tangent…
