Dear Rahul Use mid point of chord of contact formula T= S1 Hope it helps RegardsArun (askIITians forum expert)
Let any point on the given circle be O(d cos, d sin)and midpoint of chord PQ of ellipse be M(h,k).Equation of chord of contact PQ with O as an external point isT = 0 w.r.t. the ellipse x2/a2 + y2/b2 – 1 = 0. dcosx/a2 + dsiny/b2 – 1 = 0 i.e. dcosx/a2 + dsiny/b2 = 1 ….(1) is the equation of PQ. Also, considering midpoint M, equation of chord PQ isT = S1 w.r.t. the ellipse x2/a2 + y2/b2 – 1 = 0. hx/a2 + ky/b2 – 1 = h2/a2 + k2/b2 – 1 i.e.hx/a2 + ky/b2 = h2/a2 + k2/b2 ….(2) is the equation of PQ. Comparing (1) & (2), we geth/dcos = k/dsin = (h2/a2 + k2/b2) / 1 cos = h/d(h2/a2 + k2/b2) & sin = k/d(h2/a2 + k2/b2) cos2 + sin2 = 1 [h/d(h2/a2 + k2/b2)]2 + [k/d(h2/a2 + k2/b2)]2 = 1 h2 + k2 = d2(h2/a2 + k2/b2)2 Replace h by x and k by y. x2 + y2 = d2(x2/a2 + y2/b2)2 is the required locus.(You may simplify the above equation to get the desired result.)Pls approve.
