Let and be two distinct points on the ellipse such that , and . Let denote the circle , and be the point . Suppose the line intersects at , and the line intersects C at , such that the -coordinates of and are positive. Let and , where denotes the origin . Let denote the length of the line segment . Then which of the following statements is (are) TRUE?
- AThe equation of the line joining P and Q is
- BThe equation of the line joining P and Q is
- CIf , then
- DIf , then

Correct answer: A, C
- Use the given angles on the circle to find
The circle is so it has radius and center at .
Also, lies on the positive -axis, so is just the polar angle of point .
Since lies on the circle and has positive -coordinate, Because lies on the line , we get
Similarly, so
- Find points and on the ellipse
The ellipse is with .
For :
Hence Since , Therefore,
For :
Hence Since , Therefore,
- Equation of line joining and
Slope:
So the line is of form Using point , so Thus, Multiply by :
So Option A is true and Option B is false.
- Check Option C
Let Since and lies on the same vertical line , Now, Hence, So Option C is true.
- Check Option D
Let Then So, These are not equal.
So Option D is false.
- Final conclusion
The true statements are:
This matches the stored correct answer.
