Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\frac{11}{19}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(3 x^2+4 y^2=12 \qquad ....\mathrm{(i)}\) \(\Rightarrow \frac{x^2}{4}+\frac{y^2}{3}=1 \Rightarrow a^2=4, b^2=3, e=\frac{1}{2}\) End of latus rectum in third quadrant is \(\left(-a e,-\frac{b^2}{a}\right)\) \(\Rightarrow L_1^{\prime}=\left(-1, \frac{-3}{2}\right)\) Eq. of normal…
