Let the line , intersect the -axis and -axis at the points and , respectively. If the equation of the circle having the line segment as a diameter is and the length of the latus rectum of the ellipse is , where and are coprime, then is equal to
- A12
- B13
- C11
- D10
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: C
- Find the intercepts of the line
The line is
-
On the -axis, : So,
-
On the -axis, : So,
- Equation of the circle with diameter
For endpoints and , the circle with diameter joining them is
Substitute and :
So,
Given circle is
Comparing coefficients: and also which is consistent.
Thus,
- Write the ellipse
Given ellipse:
Using :
Divide by :
Hence, so
- Length of latus rectum of the ellipse
For the ellipse the length of the latus rectum is
Therefore,
So, with coprime integers , .
- Compute
So the correct option is
