Q.

The equation of the chord, of the ellipse x225+y216=1, whose mid-point is (3, 1) is :          [2025]

1 4x + 122y = 134  
2 5x + 16y = 31  
3 25x + 101y = 176  
4 48x + 25y = 169  

Ans.

(4)

Given: Ellipse is x225+y216=1 and mid-point is (3, 1).

The equation of chord with given middle point is given by

TS1

 3x25+1y161=925+1161

 3x25+y16=925+116

48x+25y=144+25

 48x+25y=169.
