The total number of tangents through the point ( 3, 5) that can be drawn to the ellipses 3x2 + 5y2 = 32 and 25x + 9y2 = 450 is

  • 0

  • 2

  • 3

  • 4


C.

3

Let S1 = 3x2 + 5y2 - 32

and S2 = 25x2 + 9y2 - 450

At point (3, 5)

S1 = 3(3)2 + 5(5)2 - 32 = 120 > 0

and S2 = 25(3)2 + 9(5)2 - 450

           = 225 + 225 - 450 = 0

Thus,  Point (3, 5) lies outside the first ellipse and for second ellipse lies on the ellipse.

Hence, two tangents for first ellipse and one tangent for second ellipse can be drawn.
