Leta, band λ be positive real numbers. Suppose P is an end point of the latus rectum of the parabola y 2 =4λx , and suppose the ellipse x 2 a 2 + y 2 b 2 =1 passes through the point P . If the tangents to the parabola and the ellipse at the point P are perpendicular to each other, then the eccentricity of the ellipse is

Options:

Answer:
A
Solution:

y2=4λxdydxP=1=m1

Also, x2a2+y2b2=1dydxP=b22a2=m2

Given both tangents are perpendicular.

m 1 m 2 =1 b 2 =2 a 2

And a2=b21e2

1=2 1 e 2

e=12
