Detailed Solution

Equation of the curve is x2+2y2=2x22+y21=1

            Equation of the line is  x  + y = 1   ; y = 1-x

            Solving the above two equations

 x2+21-x2=2x2+2x2+24x=23x24x=0x3x4=0

Hence the values of x are 0,43

Hence, the points are  P(0,1)  ,Q43,13

The line OP is vertical axis, the slope of OQ is -14hence the angle subtended by OP and OQ at origin is   θ=  π2+tan-1(-14) 

  θ = π2+tan-114
