The equation of the line y = x + λ    ...(i)

On comparing it with y = mx + c, we get

m = 1 and c = λ

The equation of the ellipse is

2x2 + 3y2 = 1

or x2122 + y2132 = 1

On comparing it with x2a2 + y2b2 = 1, we get

a2 = 12 and b2 = 13

If the line touches the ellipse, then

c2 = a2m2 + b2

 λ2 = 12 . 1 + 13

 λ2 = 56

 λ = 56
