Questions  

Let the line  y=mx and the ellipse 2x2+y2=1 intersect at a point P in the first quadrant. If the normal to this ellipse at P meets the co–ordinate axes at  132,0 and 0,β, then βis equal to:

a
223
b
23
c
23
d
23

detailed solution

Correct option is B

Let P be x1,y1Equation of normal at P isx2x1−yy1=−12It passes through −132,0  ⇒  −162x1=−12   ⇒  x1=132   So y1=223(as P lies in 1st quadrant)  ,β=y12=23
