The area of the parallelogram formed by the tangents at the points whose eccentric angles are θ,θ+π2,θ+π,θ+3π2 on the ellipse x2a2+y2b2=1 is
Options:
A .  ab
B .  4ab
C .  3ab
D .  2ab
Answer: Option B : B x2a2+y2b2=1 Area=πab Let P =(acosθ,bsinθ) S=(ae,0) M(h,k) be the midpoint of PS (h,k)=(ae+acosθ2,bsinθ2) (h−ae2)2(a2)2+k2(b2)2=1 Area=πab4 Ratio=14
