Detailed Solution

Given ellipse x216+y225611=1 where a2=16,b2=25611 Let P=(4cosθ,1611sinθ) be any point on given ellipse

Equation of tangent at P is 
x4cos θ+1116sin θy=1     ...(2)
It is a tangent of circle  x2+y22x15=0 then r = d

where centre=(1,0) and r=4

4=cosθ4-1cos2θ16+11256sin2θ squaring on both sides  16(cos2θ16+11256sin2θ)=(cosθ-4)216 16cos2θ+11sin2θ=cos2θ+16-8cosθ 4cos2θ+8cosθ-5=0 (2cosθ+5)(2cosθ-1)=0 cosθ=12(-1cosθ1) 

θ=2nπ±π3,nz put n=0 then θ=±π3
