Ellipse question

2021 · 31 Aug · Shift 2 · Q27

JEE MainMathematicsEllipseMCQ+4 / −1
The locus of mid-points of the line segments joining (−-− 3, −-− 5) and the points on the ellipse x24+y29=1{{{x^2}} \over 4} + {{{y^2}} \over 9} = 14x2​+9y2​=1 is :
  1. A
    9x2+4y2+18x+8y+145=09{x^2} + 4{y^2} + 18x + 8y + 145 = 09x2+4y2+18x+8y+145=0
  2. B
    36x2+16y2+90x+56y+145=036{x^2} + 16{y^2} + 90x + 56y + 145 = 036x2+16y2+90x+56y+145=0
  3. C
    36x2+16y2+108x+80y+145=036{x^2} + 16{y^2} + 108x + 80y + 145 = 036x2+16y2+108x+80y+145=0

Correct answer: C

  1. Let a variable point on the ellipse be P(X,Y)P(X,Y)P(X,Y).

    Given ellipse: X24+Y29=1\frac{X^2}{4}+\frac{Y^2}{9}=14X2​+9Y2​=1

    Fixed point is A(−3,−5)A(-3,-5)A(−3,−5).

  2. Let the midpoint of APAPAP be (x,y)(x,y)(x,y).

    Using midpoint formula: x=X+(−3)2=X−32x=\frac{X+(-3)}{2}=\frac{X-3}{2}x=2X+(−3)​=2X−3​ y=Y+(−5)2=Y−52y=\frac{Y+(-5)}{2}=\frac{Y-5}{2}y=2Y+(−5)​=2Y−5​

    Hence, X=2x+3,Y=2y+5X=2x+3, \qquad Y=2y+5X=2x+3,Y=2y+5

  3. Substitute into the ellipse equation.

    (2x+3)24+(2y+5)29=1\frac{(2x+3)^2}{4}+\frac{(2y+5)^2}{9}=14(2x+3)2​+9(2y+5)2​=1

    Expand: 4x2+12x+94+4y2+20y+259=1\frac{4x^2+12x+9}{4}+\frac{4y^2+20y+25}{9}=144x2+12x+9​+94y2+20y+25​=1

    x2+3x+94+4y29+20y9+259=1x^2+3x+\frac{9}{4}+\frac{4y^2}{9}+\frac{20y}{9}+\frac{25}{9}=1x2+3x+49​+94y2​+920y​+925​=1

  4. Clear denominators by multiplying by 363636.

    36x2+108x+81+16y2+80y+100=3636x^2+108x+81+16y^2+80y+100=3636x2+108x+81+16y2+80y+100=36

    36x2+16y2+108x+80y+145=036x^2+16y^2+108x+80y+145=036x2+16y2+108x+80y+145=0

  5. Compare with the options.

    This matches: 36x2+16y2+108x+80y+145=0\boxed{36x^2+16y^2+108x+80y+145=0}36x2+16y2+108x+80y+145=0​

    So the correct option is C.

  6. Verification with stored answer:

    Stored correct answer = C, which agrees with the derived result.
