The line \(x=2 y\) intersects the ellipse \(\frac{x^{2}}{4}+y^{2}=1\) at the points \(P\) and \(Q .\) The equation of the circle with \(P Q\) as diameter is

  1. A \(x^{2}+y^{2}=\frac{1}{2}\)
  2. B \(x^{2}+y^{2}=1\)
  3. C \(x^{2}+y^{2}=2\)
  4. D \(x^{2}+y^{2}=\frac{5}{2}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(x^{2}+y^{2}=\frac{5}{2}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Solving \(x=2 y\) and \(\frac{x^{2}}{4}+y^{2}=1\) Put \(x=2 y\) in Eq. (ii), we get \(\frac{(2 y)^{2}}{4}+y^{2}=1 \Rightarrow \frac{4 y^{2}}{4}+y^{2}=1\) \(=\) \(2 y^{2}=1 \Rightarrow y=\pm \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\) \(\therefore\) From \(\mathrm{E} q\) (i), \(x=\pm \sqrt{2}\)…
