  2. $\dfrac{\pi }{6}$

  3. $\dfrac{\pi }{4}$

  4. $\dfrac{\pi }{3}$

Show answer
Correct Option: A,D
Explanation:

Ellipse$:\cfrac { x^{ 2 } }{ 12 } +\cfrac { y^{ 2 } }{ 4 } =1$

Centre$:C(0,0)$
Given that $PC=\sqrt { 6 } $
Parametric coordinates $:y=b\sin { \phi  } ,x=a\cos { \phi  } $
$\phi$ is eccentric angle. 
$\Rightarrow 6=(2\sqrt { 3 } \cos { \phi  } -0)^{ 2 }+(2\sin { \phi  } -0)^{ 2 }$
$ \Rightarrow 6=12\cos { ^{ 2 }\phi  } +4\sin { ^{ 2 }\phi  } $
$ \Rightarrow 2=8\cos ^{ 2 }{ \phi  } $
$ \Rightarrow \cos ^{ 2 }{ \phi  } =\cfrac { 1 }{ 4 } $
$ \Rightarrow \cos { \phi  } = \pm \cfrac { 1 }{ 2 } $
$ \Rightarrow \phi = \cfrac { \pi  }{ 3 } $
$\Rightarrow \phi =\cfrac { 2\pi  }{ 3 } $

An ellipse is inscribed in a circle and a point within the circle is chosen at random. If the probability that this point lies outside the ellipse is $\dfrac 23$ then the eccentricity of the ellipse is  

position of point wrt ellipse ellipse maths

  1. $\dfrac{2\sqrt{2}}{3}$

  2. $\sqrt{5}$

  3. $8$

  4. $2$

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:
Probability  $p=\dfrac 23$

Let the radius of circle$=a$

Major axis$=2a$

Minor axis$=2b$

Area of circles$=\pi a^2$

Area of ellipse$=\pi ab$

as because

$P=\dfrac{\pi ab-\pi a^2}{\pi ab}=1-\dfrac{a}{b}$

$\dfrac{a}{b}=1-\dfrac{2}{3}=\dfrac{1}{3}$

$e=\sqrt{1-\left(\dfrac{a}{b}\right)^2}-\sqrt{1-\left(\dfrac{1}{3}\right)^2}$

$=\sqrt{\dfrac{8}{9}}$

Eccentricity$=e=\dfrac{2\sqrt{2}}{3}$.

position of point wrt ellipse ellipse maths

  1. Outside the ellipse 

  2. On the ellipse

  3. On the major axis

  4. On the minor axis

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

We have,

Equation of given ellipse,

$4{{x}^{2}}+9{{y}^{2}}-16x-54y+61=0$

Given point,

Let, $\left( x,y \right)=\left( 1,\,3 \right)$

Then, position of point in given ellipse is

$ 4{{\left( 1 \right)}^{2}}+9{{\left( 3 \right)}^{2}}-16\left( 1 \right)-54\left( 3 \right)+61=0 $

$ \Rightarrow 4+81-16-162+61=0 $

$ \Rightarrow 146-178=0 $

$ \Rightarrow -32<0 $

  1. $x^{2}+4y^{2}=3$

  2. $y^{2}=4x$

  3. $2x^{2}+y^{2}=1$

  4. none of these

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Equation of ellipse-

${x}^{2} + 2 {y}^{2} = 1 ..... \; \left(  1 \right)$
Let $\left( h, k \right)$ be the point whose chord of contact subtends a right angle at the centre of ellipse.
Equation of chord of contact-
$hx + 2ky = 1$
Squaring both sides, we have
${\left( hx + 2ky \right)}^{2} = {\left( 1 \right)}^{2}$
${h}^{2} {x}^{2} + 4 {k}^{2} {y}^{2} + 4hkxy = 1 ..... \left( 2 \right)$
Now, from equation $\left( 1 \right) &amp; \left( 2 \right)$, we have
${h}^{2} {x}^{2} + 4 {k}^{2} {y}^{2} + 4hkxy = {x}^{2} + 2 {y}^{2}$
$\Rightarrow \left( {h}^{2} - 1 \right) {x}^{2} + \left( 4 {k}^{2} - 2 \right) {y}^{2} + 4hkxy = 0$
The above equation represents a pair of perpendicular lines if
Coefficient of ${x}^{2} + $ Coefficient of ${y}^{2} = 0$
$\left( {h}^{2} - 1 \right) + \left( 4 {k}^{2} - 2 \right) = 0$
$\Rightarrow {h}^{2} + 4 {k}^{2} - 3 = 0$
$\Rightarrow {h}^{2} + 4 {k}^{2} = 3$
Replacing $h$ and $k$ with $x$ and $y$ respectively, we get
${x}^{2} + 4 {y}^{2} = 3$
Hence the locus of the point whose chord of contact subtends a right angle at the centre of ellipse is ${x}^{2} + 4 {y}^{2} = 3$.

  2. $x^2 + y^2 - 2x + 5 = 0$

  3. $3x^2 + 3y^2 - 6x - 8 = 0$

  4. None of these

Show answer
Correct Option: C
Explanation:
$\dfrac{x^{2}}{16}+\dfrac{y^{2}}{4}=1$

Point on the ellipse $(4\cos\theta, 2\sin\theta)$

Let the circle have radius $=r$

$(x-1)^{2}+(y-0)^{2}=r^{2}$ Solving if with ellipse

$x^{2}+4y^{2}=16$

$(x-1)^{2}+\dfrac{(16-x^{2})}{4}=r^{2}$

$4(x^{2}-2x+1)+16-x^{2}=4r^{2}$

$3x^{2}-8x+20-4r^{2}=0$

As the circle & ellipse touch each other 

$D=0$

$8^{2}-4.2\times (20-4r^{2})=0$

$r^{2}=\dfrac{\pi}{3}$

$(x-1)^{2}+y^{2}=\dfrac{11}{3}$

$3x^{2}+3y^{2}-6x-8=0$

An ellipse of major axis $20\sqrt {3}$ and minor axis $20$ slides along the coordinate axes and always remains confined in the $1^{st}$ quadrant. The locus of the centre of the ellipse therefore describes the arc of a circle. The length of this arc is
