Q.

Let E1 and E2 be two ellipses whose centeres are at the origin. The major axes of E1 and E2 lie along the x-axis and the y-axis respectively. Let S be the  circle x2+(y1)2=2 The straight line x+y=3 touches the curves S, E1 and E2 at P, Q and R, respectively. Suppose that  

PQ = PR = 223  If e1 and e2 are the eccentricities of E1 and E2 respectively, then the correct expression( s) is are

The equation to the ellipses are 

E1:x2a2+y2b2=1(a>b) and E2:x2c2+y2d2=1(c<d)

The tangent is x+y=3

The tangent at  (α,β) to x2+(y1)2=2

xα+(y1)(β1)=2

 i.e. xα+(β1)y=β+1

Given ,α=1,β=2

Hence P is (1, 2). 

x+y=3 touches x2a2+y2b2=1 at x1,y1

xx1a+yy1b=1

Comparing , we get  Qa3,b3

Again it touches  x2c2+y2d2=1 we get Rc3,d3

a312+b322=89

Also, a+b=9, we get  (a,b)=(5,4)

similarly, (c,d)=(1,8) 

e12=145=15;e22=118=78
