Detailed Solution

Given ellipse S16x2+11y2-256=0

Given point P=4cos2θ, 1611 sin2θ

Equation of tangent at P(θ) is S1=0

16x(4cos2θ)+111611 sin2θy-256=0  4x cos2θ+11 sin2θ y-16=0

since it touches the circle x2+y2-2x-15=0 then r=d where C=(1, 0), r=16

 16=|4cos2θ-16|16cos22θ+11sin22θ  16(16cos22θ+11sin22θ)=16(cos2θ-4)2   16cos22θ+11-11cos22θ=cos22θ+16-8cos2θ  4cos22θ+8cos2θ-5=0  4cos22θ+10cos2θ-2cos2θ-5=0  (2cosθ+5) (2cosθ-1)=0  cosθ=-52 (or) cosθ=12 cosθ=12 (-1cosθ1) θ=nπ±π3,nZ If n=0 then θ=±π3
