Detailed Solution

Equation of the ellipse is 2x2+3y2=11
 Given ordinate y=1then 2x2+3.1=112x2=8
x2=4x2=±2
points on the ellipse are P(2,1) and Q(–2,1)
Case (1) : P(2,1)
Equation of the tangent is
2x2+3y1=114x+3y=11 14x+3y-11=0
since normal is lr to the tangent then  equation of the normal at P can be taken as 3x - 4y = K
normal passes through P(2,1) then
64=KK=2
equation of the normal at P is 3x4y=2
Case (2) : Q(–2, 1)
equation of the tangent at Q is
2x(2)+3y1=114x+3y=114x3y+11=0
equation of the normal can be taken as
3x+4y=K
The normal passes through Q(–2,1)
6+4=KK=2
equation of the normal at Q is
3x+4y=2 or 3x+4y+2=0
