Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\frac{1}{4}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

(a) Given equation of ellipse is \(\frac{x^2}{a^2}+\frac{y^2}{b^2}=1\) ...(i) and equation of parabola is \(y^2=8 a x\) ...(ii) Differentiating Eq. (i) w.r.t \(x\), we get, \(\frac{2 x}{a^2}+\frac{2 y y^{\prime}}{b^2}=0\) \(\Rightarrow \quad y^{\prime}=-\frac{b^2 x}{a^2 y}\)…
