Let P be a point in the first quadrant lying on the ellipse 9x2+16y2=144,such that the tangent at P to the ellipse is inclined at an angle 135° to the positive direction of x-axis. Then the coordinates of P are:

a
1433, 14
b
89, 773
c
42, 32
d
165, 95

detailed solution

Correct option is D

Equation of the tangent with slope tan 135° to the ellipse x216+y29=1 is y=−x+16(1)+9⇒x+y=5 which meets the given ellipse at 165,95
