 Let E be the ellipse x29+y24=1 and C be the circle x2+y2=9. Let P and Q be the points (1,2) and (2,1) respectively. Then, 

a
Q lies inside C but outside E
b
Q lies outside both C and E
c
P lies inside both C and E
d
P lies inside C but outside E

detailed solution

Correct option is D

Since 12+22=5<9 and 22+12=5<9, both P and Q lie inside C . Also, 129+224=19+1>1 and 229+14=2536<1Hence, P lies outside E and Q lies inside E. Thus, P lies inside C but outside E.
