Detailed Solution

The equation of the ellipse is 

x210+y26=1 or, 3x2+5y2=30              …(i)

Let (h, k) be the mid-point of the chord intercepted on the line 2x-y+3=0 by the ellipse (i). Then, the equation of the chord is

S1 =S11

i.e. 3hx+5ky30=3h2+5k230

 3hx+5ky=3h2+5k2                      …(ii)

The equation of the line is 

2xy+3=0                                         …(iii)

Clearly, (ii) and (iii) represent the same line. 

 3h2=5k=3h2+5k23=λ (say)  h=2λ3,k=λ5 and 3h2+5k2=3λ

 34λ29+5λ225=3λ 4λ23+λ25=3λ23λ2=45λλ=0,λ=4523

But, λ=0 is not possible. So, λ=4523

Now, h=2λ3,k=λ5h=3023,k=923

Hence, the required coordinates of the mid-point are

(-3023,923)
