Answer» Correct Answer - D `"The equation of ellipse is "x^(2)/a^(2)+y^(2)/b^(2)-1=0` The point for which `x^(2)/a^(2)+y^(2)/b^(2)-1=0gt0` is outside ellipse. Since, at (a, 0)1 + 0 - 1 = 0 It lies on the ellipse. At (0, b), 0 + 1 - 1 = 0 It lies on the ellipse. At (-a, 0), 1 + 0 - 1 = 0 It lien on the ellipse. At (a, 0), `1 + 1 - 1 gt 0` So, the point (a, b) lies outside the ellipse.  |
