Detailed Solution
Let the extremities of a pair of semi-conjugatediameters of the ellipse be P(3cos θ, 2sin θ) Q(3cos α, 2sin α), Cbeing the centre.Then slope of CP× slope ofCQ=−49⇒23tan θ×23tan α=−49⇒1+tan θtan α=0⇒α−θ=π/2⇒ coordinates of Q are (−3sin θ, 2cos θ)equation of PQ is2(sin θ−cos θ)x−3(cos θ+sin θ)y+6=0which represents lx+my+n=0, then l2(sin θ−cos θ)=m−3(cos θ+sin θ)=n6 So 9l2+4m2n2=(sin θ−cos θ)2+(cos θ+sin θ)2=2.
