1.	From a point P perpendicular tangents PQ and PR are drawn to ellipse `x^(2)+4y^(2) =4`, then locus of circumcentre of triangle PQR isA. `x^(2)+y^(2) =(16)/(5)(x^(2)+4y^(2))^(2)`B. `x^(2)+y^(2) =(5)/(16)(x^(2)+4y^(2))^(2)`C. `x^(2)+4y^(2)=(16)/(5)(x^(2)+y^(2))^(2)`D. `x^(2)+4y^(2)=(16)/(5)(x^(2)+y^(2))^(2)`
Answer» Correct Answer - B P lies on `x^(2) +y^(2) =5` (director circle of given ellipse) Let `P(sqrt(5) cos theta, sqrt(5) sin theta)` Since `DeltaQPR` is right angled at point P, circumcenter is mid-point of QR. QR is chord of contact w.r.t point P, `:.` Its equation is `(xsqrt(5)cos theta)/(4) +(y sqrt(5) sin theta)/(1) =1` (i) Also equation of chord QR which is bisected at point (h,k) is `(xh)/(h^(2) + 4k^(2)) +(4ky)/(h^(2)+4k^(2)) =1` (using `T = S_(1))` (ii) Comparing coefficients of equations (i) and (ii), `(sqrt(5)cos theta)/(4) = (h)/(h^(2) + 4k^(2))` and `sqrt(5) sin theta = (4k)/(h^(2)+4k^(2))` `rArr x^(2)+y^(2) = (5)/(16) (x^(2) + 4y^(2))^(2)`
