(B,C,D) $2 \cos \left(\frac{\mathrm{B}+\mathrm{C}}{2}\right) \cos \left(\frac{\mathrm{B}-\mathrm{C}}{2}\right)=4 \sin ^{2} \frac{\mathrm{A}}{2} \Rightarrow \cos \left(\frac{\mathrm{B}-\mathrm{C}}{2}\right)=2 \sin \frac{\mathrm{A}}{2}$ $\Rightarrow 2 \cos \frac{\mathrm{A}}{2} \cos \left(\frac{\mathrm{B}-\mathrm{C}}{2}\right)=2 \cdot 2 \sin \frac{\mathrm{A}}{2} \cdot \cos \frac{\mathrm{A}}{2} \Rightarrow 2 \sin \left(\frac{\mathrm{B}+\mathrm{C}}{2}\right) \cos \left(\frac{\mathrm{B}-\mathrm{C}}{2}\right)=2 \sin \mathrm{A}$ $\Rightarrow \sin \mathrm{B}+\sin \mathrm{C}=2 \sin \mathrm{A}$ $\Rightarrow \mathrm{b}+\mathrm{c}=2 \mathrm{a}$ $\Rightarrow$ locus is ellipse.

The major axes of $\mathrm{E}_{1}$ and $\mathrm{E}_{2}$ lie along the $\mathrm{x}$ -axis and the $\mathrm{y}$ -axis, respectively. Let $\mathrm{S}$ be the circle $\mathrm{x}^{2}+(\mathrm{y}-1)^{2}=2 .$ The straight line $\mathrm{x}+\mathrm{y}=3$ touches the curves $\mathrm{S}, \mathrm{E}_{1}$ and $\mathrm{E}_{2}$ at $\mathrm{P}, \mathrm{Q}$ and $\mathrm{R},$ respectively. Suppose that $\mathrm{PQ}=\mathrm{PR}=\frac{2 \sqrt{2}}{3} .$ If $\mathrm{e}_{1}$ and $\mathrm{e}_{2}$ are the eccentricities of $\mathrm{E}_{1}$ and $\mathrm{E}_{2},$ respectively, then the correct expression(s) is(are) (A) $\mathrm{e}_{1}^{2}+\mathrm{e}_{2}^{2}=\frac{43}{40}$ (B) $\mathrm{e}_{1} \mathrm{e}_{2}=\frac{\sqrt{7}}{2 \sqrt{10}}$ (C) $\left|\mathrm{e}_{1}^{2}-\mathrm{e}_{2}^{2}\right|=\frac{5}{8}$ (D) $\mathrm{e}_{1} \mathrm{e}_{2}=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}$ [JEE 2015, 4M, –0M]
Ans. (A,B) Let $\mathrm{E}_{1}: \frac{\mathrm{x}^{2}}{\mathrm{a}^{2}}+\frac{\mathrm{y}^{2}}{\mathrm{b}^{2}}=1 \quad(\mathrm{a}>\mathrm{b})$ $\mathrm{\&} \quad \mathrm{E}_{2}: \frac{\mathrm{x}^{2}}{\mathrm{c}^{2}}+\frac{\mathrm{y}^{2}}{\mathrm{d}^{2}}=1 \quad(\mathrm{c}<\mathrm{d})$ $\& \quad \mathrm{S}: \mathrm{x}^{2}+(\mathrm{y}-1)^{2}=2$ $\mathrm{\&} \quad$ tangent to $\mathrm{E}_{1}, \mathrm{E}_{2} \& \mathrm{S}$ is $\mathrm{x}+\mathrm{y}=3$ Now, point of contact of $\mathrm{S} \&$ tangent is $\left(\mathrm{x}_{1}, \mathrm{y}_{1}\right)$ Let $\mathrm{x}=\mathrm{X} \quad \& \mathrm{y}-1=\mathrm{Y}$ $\therefore \quad \mathrm{X}^{2}+\mathrm{Y}^{2}=2$ $\mathrm{\&} \quad \mathrm{X}+\mathrm{Y}=2$ Let $\left(\mathrm{X}_{1}, \mathrm{Y}_{1}\right)$ be point of contact. $\therefore \quad \mathrm{X}_{1}+\mathrm{YY}_{1}=2$ $\therefore \quad \mathrm{X}_{1}=1 \& \mathrm{Y}_{1}=1$ $\therefore \quad \mathrm{x}_{1}=1 \& \mathrm{y}_{1}=2$ Now, parametric equation of $x+y=3$ is $\frac{x-1}{-\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}}=\frac{y-2}{\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}}=\pm \frac{2 \sqrt{2}}{3} \Rightarrow x=\frac{5}{3}, y=\frac{4}{3}$ $\Rightarrow \quad x=\frac{1}{3} \& y=\frac{8}{3}$ $\therefore \quad \mathrm{P} \equiv(1,2), \quad \mathrm{Q} \equiv\left(\frac{5}{3}, \frac{4}{3}\right) \quad \& \quad \mathrm{R}=\left(\frac{1}{3}, \frac{8}{3}\right)$ Now, equation tangent at $\mathrm{Q}$ on ellipse $\mathrm{E}_{1}$ $\frac{\mathrm{x} \cdot 5}{3 \mathrm{a}^{2}}+\frac{\mathrm{y} \cdot 4}{3 \mathrm{b}^{2}}=1$ Comparing it with $\mathrm{x}+\mathrm{y}=3$ $\therefore \quad \mathrm{a}^{2}=5 \& \mathrm{b}^{2}=4$ Now, $e_{1}^{2}=1-\frac{4}{5}=\frac{1}{5}$ Similarly, $e_{2}^{2}=\frac{7}{8}$ $\therefore \quad e_{1}^{2} e_{2}^{2}=\frac{7}{40} \Rightarrow e_{1} e_{2}=\frac{\sqrt{7}}{2 \sqrt{10}}$ $e_{1}^{2}+e_{2}^{2}=\frac{1}{5}+\frac{7}{8}=\frac{43}{40} ; \quad\left|e_{1}^{2}-e_{2}^{2}\right|=\left|\frac{1}{5}-\frac{7}{8}\right|=\frac{27}{40}$ $\therefore \quad(A) \&(B)$
Let $\mathrm{F}_{1}\left(\mathrm{x}_{1}, 0\right)$ and $\mathrm{F}_{2}\left(\mathrm{x}_{2}, 0\right)$ for $\mathrm{x}_{1}<0$ and $\mathrm{x}_{2}>0,$ be the foci of the ellipse $\frac{\mathrm{x}^{2}}{9}+\frac{\mathrm{y}^{2}}{8}=1 .$ Suppose a parabola having vertex at the origin and focus at $\mathrm{F}_{2}$ intersects the ellipse at point $\mathrm{M}$ in the first quadrant and at point $\mathrm{N}$ in the fourth quadrant.
Q. The orthocentre of the triangle $F_{1} \mathrm{MN}$ is- (A) $\left(-\frac{9}{10}, 0\right)$ (B) $\left(\frac{2}{3}, 0\right)$ (C) $\left(\frac{9}{10}, 0\right)$ (D) $\left(\frac{2}{3}, \sqrt{6}\right)$ [JEE 2015, 4M, –0M]
Ans. (A) Orthocentre lies on $\mathrm{x}$ -axis Equation of altitude through $\mathrm{M}: \mathrm{y}-\sqrt{6}=\frac{5}{2 \sqrt{6}}\left(\mathrm{x}-\frac{3}{2}\right)$ Equation of altitude through $\mathrm{F}_{1}: \mathrm{y}=0$ solving, we get orthocentre $\left(-\frac{9}{10}, 0\right)$
Q. If the tangents to the ellipse at M and N meet at R and the normal to the parabola at M meets the x-axis at Q, then the ratio of area of the triangle MQR to area of the quadrilateral $\mathrm{MF}_{1} \mathrm{NF}_{2}$ is- (A) 3 : 4 (B) 4 : 5 (C) 5 : 8 (D) 2 : 3 [JEE(Advanced)-2016]
Ans. (C) Normal to parabola at $\mathrm{M}: \mathrm{y}-\sqrt{6}=-\frac{\sqrt{6}}{2.1}\left(\mathrm{x}-\frac{3}{2}\right)$ Solving it with $\mathrm{y}=0,$ we get $\mathrm{Q} \equiv\left(\frac{7}{2}, 0\right)$ Tangent to ellipse at $M: \frac{x \cdot \frac{3}{2}}{9}+\frac{y(\sqrt{6})}{8}=1$ Solving it with $y=0$, we get $R \equiv(6,0)$ $\therefore$ Area of triangle MQR $=\frac{1}{2} \cdot\left(6-\frac{7}{2}\right) \cdot \sqrt{6}=\frac{5 \sqrt{6}}{4}$ Area of quadrilateral $\mathrm{MF}_{1} \mathrm{NF}_{2}=2 \cdot \frac{1}{2} \cdot(1-(-1)) \cdot \sqrt{6}=2 \sqrt{6}$ Required ratio $=5: 8$
Q. Consider two straight lines, each of which is tangent to both the circle $x^{2}+y^{2}=\frac{1}{2}$ and the parabola $\mathrm{y}^{2}=4 \mathrm{x}$. Let these lines intersect at the point Q. Consider the ellipse whose center is at the origin O(0, 0) and whose semi-major axis is OQ. If the length of the minor axis of this ellipse is $\sqrt{2}$, then the which of the following statement(s) is (are) TRUE ? (A) For the ellipse, the eccentricity is $\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$ and the length of the latus rectum is 1 (B) For the ellipse, the eccentricity is $\frac{1}{2}$ and the length of the latus rectum is $\frac{1}{2}$ (C) The area of the region bounded by the ellipse between the lines $\mathrm{x}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$ and $\mathrm{x}=1$ is $\frac{1}{4 \sqrt{2}}(\pi-2)$ (D) The area of the region bounded by the ellipse between the lines $x=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$ and $x=1$ is $\frac{1}{16}(\pi-2)$ [JEE(Advanced)-2016]
Ans. (A,C) Let equation of common tangent is $\mathrm{y}=\mathrm{mx}+\frac{1}{\mathrm{m}}$ $\therefore \quad\left|\frac{0+0+\frac{1}{\mathrm{m}}}{\sqrt{1+\mathrm{m}^{2}}}\right|=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \Rightarrow \mathrm{m}^{4}+\mathrm{m}^{2}-2=0 \Rightarrow \mathrm{m}=\pm 1$ Equation of common tangents are $\mathrm{y}=\mathrm{x}+1$ and $\mathrm{y}=-\mathrm{x}-1$ point $\mathrm{Q}$ is $(-1,0)$ $\therefore$ Equation of ellipse is $\frac{\mathrm{x}^{2}}{1}+\frac{\mathrm{y}^{2}}{1 / 2}=1$ (A) $\mathrm{e}=\sqrt{1-\frac{1}{2}}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$ and $\mathrm{LR}=\frac{2 \mathrm{b}^{2}}{\mathrm{a}}=1$ Area $2 . \int_{1 / \sqrt{2}}^{1} \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \cdot \sqrt{1-x^{2}} d x=\sqrt{2}\left[\frac{x}{2} \sqrt{1-x^{2}}+\frac{1}{2} \sin ^{-1} x\right]_{1 / \sqrt{2}}^{1}$ $=\sqrt{2}\left[\frac{\pi}{4}-\left(\frac{1}{4}+\frac{\pi}{8}\right)\right]=\sqrt{2}\left(\frac{\pi}{8}-\frac{1}{4}\right)=\frac{\pi-2}{4 \sqrt{2}}$ correct answer are (A) and (D)
