Correct answer: C

  1. Find the intercepts of the line

The line is 2x+3y−k=0, k>0.2x+3y-k=0, \, k>0.2x+3y−k=0,k>0.

  • On the xxx-axis, y=0y=0y=0: 2x−k=0⇒x=k2.2x-k=0 \Rightarrow x=\frac{k}{2}.2x−k=0⇒x=2k​. So, A(k2,0).A\left(\frac{k}{2},0\right).A(2k​,0).

  • On the yyy-axis, x=0x=0x=0: 3y−k=0⇒y=k3.3y-k=0 \Rightarrow y=\frac{k}{3}.3y−k=0⇒y=3k​. So, B(0,k3).B\left(0,\frac{k}{3}\right).B(0,3k​).

  1. Equation of the circle with diameter ABABAB

For endpoints (x1,y1)(x_1,y_1)(x1​,y1​) and (x2,y2)(x_2,y_2)(x2​,y2​), the circle with diameter joining them is (x−x1)(x−x2)+(y−y1)(y−y2)=0.\left(x-x_1\right)\left(x-x_2\right)+\left(y-y_1\right)\left(y-y_2\right)=0.(x−x1​)(x−x2​)+(y−y1​)(y−y2​)=0.

Substitute A(k2,0)A\left(\frac{k}{2},0\right)A(2k​,0) and B(0,k3)B\left(0,\frac{k}{3}\right)B(0,3k​): x(x−k2)+y(y−k3)=0.x\left(x-\frac{k}{2}\right)+y\left(y-\frac{k}{3}\right)=0.x(x−2k​)+y(y−3k​)=0.

So, x2+y2−k2x−k3y=0.x^2+y^2-\frac{k}{2}x-\frac{k}{3}y=0.x2+y2−2k​x−3k​y=0.

Given circle is x2+y2−3x−2y=0.x^2+y^2-3x-2y=0.x2+y2−3x−2y=0.

Comparing coefficients: k2=3⇒k=6,\frac{k}{2}=3 \Rightarrow k=6,2k​=3⇒k=6, and also k3=2⇒k=6,\frac{k}{3}=2 \Rightarrow k=6,3k​=2⇒k=6, which is consistent.

Thus, k=6.k=6.k=6.

  1. Write the ellipse

Given ellipse: x2+9y2=k2.x^2+9y^2=k^2.x2+9y2=k2.

Using k=6k=6k=6: x2+9y2=36.x^2+9y^2=36.x2+9y2=36.

Divide by 363636: x236+y24=1.\frac{x^2}{36}+\frac{y^2}{4}=1.36x2​+4y2​=1.

Hence, a2=36,b2=4,a^2=36, \quad b^2=4,a2=36,b2=4, so a=6,b=2.a=6,\quad b=2.a=6,b=2.

  1. Length of latus rectum of the ellipse

For the ellipse x2a2+y2b2=1(a>b),\frac{x^2}{a^2}+\frac{y^2}{b^2}=1 \quad (a>b),a2x2​+b2y2​=1(a>b), the length of the latus rectum is 2b2a.\frac{2b^2}{a}.a2b2​.

Therefore, latus rectum=2⋅46=86=43.\text{latus rectum} = \frac{2\cdot 4}{6}=\frac{8}{6}=\frac{4}{3}.latus rectum=62⋅4​=68​=34​.

So, mn=43,\frac{m}{n}=\frac{4}{3},nm​=34​, with coprime integers m=4m=4m=4, n=3n=3n=3.

  1. Compute 2m+n2m+n2m+n

2m+n=2(4)+3=11.2m+n=2(4)+3=11.2m+n=2(4)+3=11.

So the correct option is C.\boxed{\text{C}}.C​.
