Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\frac{\pi}{3}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\begin{aligned} & \text { } S Q^2=26=a^2 e^2+1 \\ & \Rightarrow a e=5 \Rightarrow e^2=\frac{25}{a^2}=1+\frac{b^2}{a^2}=1+\frac{9}{a^2} \\ & \Rightarrow \frac{25}{a^2}-\frac{9}{a^2}=1 \Rightarrow a=4, e=\frac{5}{4} \\ & P=(4 \sec \theta, 3 \tan \theta) \\ & P S^2=(4 \sec…
