Detailed Solution

Equation of the ellipse is x2+4y2=4x24+y2=1
Let θ be the eccentric angle of P.
 Then P=(2cosθ,sinθ)
Equation of the tangent at P is cosθ2x+(sinθ)y=1
Tangent at P meets major axis y = 0 at Q=2cosθ,0
Equation of the normal at P is 2xcosθysinθ=412cosθxysinθ=3
Normal at P meets major axis y = 0 at R
R=3cosθ2,0Now QR=23cosθ22cosθ2=49cos2θ4+4cos2θ6=49cos4θ40cos2θ+16=09cos2θ4cos2θ4=09cos2θ4=0cosθ=±23θ=cos123 or πcos123
