If a tangent of slope 4 of the ellipse `(x^(2))/(a^(2))+(y^(2))/(b^(2))=1` is normal to the circle `x^(2)+y^(2)+4x+1=0` then the maximum value of `ab` isA. 4B. 5C. 6D. 8

Answer» Correct Answer - D
Equation of tangent is `y=4x+-sqrt(16a^(2)+b^(2))` this normal passes through `(-2,0)`
`implies 0=-8+-sqrt(16a^(2)+b^(2)),264=16a^(2)+b^(2)`
Giving `AMgeGM`
`(16a^(2)+b^(2))/2 ge sqrt(16a^(2)b^(2))`
`64/2ge sqrt(16a^(2)b^(2))`
`4able32`
`able8`
