Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\left(-\frac{1}{5}, \frac{4}{5}\right)\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Equation of chord with midpoint \( (x_1, y_1) \): \( x x_1 + \frac{y y_1}{4} = x_1^2 + \frac{y_1^2}{4} \) Comparing with given line \( y=x+1 \Rightarrow x-y+1=0 \): \( \frac{x_1}{1} = \frac{y_1/4}{-1} = \lambda \) \( x_1=\lambda, y_1=-4\lambda \) Midpoint \( (x_1, y_1) \) lies…
