An ellipse has eccentricity 1/2 and a focus at the point P(1/2, 1). One of its directrix is the common tangent  near to the point P, to the circle x2+y2=1 and the  hyperbola x2y2=1 the equation of the ellipse is 

a
3x2+4y2−6x−8y+4=0
b
3x2+4y2−2x−8y+4=0
c
4x2+3y2−8x−6y+4=0
d
4x2+3y2−8x−2y+4=0

detailed solution

Correct option is B

Equation of a common tangent is x = ±1, nearer to  P(1/2,1) is x=1. o the directrix of the ellipse is x = 1 and the focus is  (x−1/2)2+(y−1)2=1/4(1−x)2⇒3x2+4y2−2x−8y+4=0
