Question

If CP and CD are semi – conjugate diameters of an ellipse fraction numerator x to the power of 2 end exponent over denominator a to the power of 2 end exponent end fraction plus fraction numerator y to the power of 2 end exponent over denominator b to the power of 2 end exponent end fraction equals 1 comma then CP2 + CD2 =

  1. a + b    
  2. a2 + b2    
  3. a2 – b2    
  4. square root of a to the power of 2 end exponent plus b to the power of 2 end exponent end root    

hintHint:

Properties of conjugate diameters
i)Sum of squares of any two conjugate semi diameters of ellipse is equal to sum of square of semi axes of ellipse.
ii) Square of semi diameter which is conjugate to the diameter through a point is equal to the product of focal distances of a point on an ellipse.

The correct answer is: a2 + b2
