The area of the rectangle formed by the perpendiculars from the centre of the standard ellipse $\frac{x^2}{a^2} + \frac{y^2}{b^2} = 1$ to the tangent and normal at its point whose eccentric angle is $\pi /4$ is:

  • A
    $\frac{(a^2 - b^2)ab}{a^2 + b^2}$
  • B
    $\frac{a^2 - b^2}{(a^2 + b^2)ab}$

    $\frac{a^2 - b^2}{ab(a^2 + b^2)}$
  • D
    $\frac{a^2 + b^2}{(a^2 - b^2)ab}$

If the normal drawn at the point $(2, -1)$ to the ellipse $x^2 + 4y^2 = 8$ meets the ellipse again at $(a, b)$,then $17a =$

Consider the ellipse $\frac{x^2}{4}+\frac{y^2}{3}=1$. Let $H(\alpha, 0)$,$0 < \alpha < 2$,be a point. $A$ straight line drawn through $H$ parallel to the $y$-axis crosses the ellipse and its auxiliary circle at points $E$ and $F$ respectively,in the first quadrant. The tangent to the ellipse at the point $E$ intersects the positive $x$-axis at a point $G$. Suppose the straight line joining $F$ and the origin makes an angle $\phi$ with the positive $x$-axis.
