For the variable , the locus of the point of intersection of the lines 3tx - 2y + 6t = 0 and 3x + 2ty - 6 = 0 is

  • the ellipse x24 + y29 = 1

  • the ellipse x29 + y24 = 1

  • the hyperbola x24 - y29 = 1

  • the hyperbola x29 - y24 = 1


A.

the ellipse x24 + y29 = 1

Given equation of lines are

3tx - 2y + 6t = 0                 ...(i)

and 3x + 2ty - 6 = 0           ...(ii)

On multiplying Eq. (i) by t and then adding in Eq. (ii), we get

(3t2 + 3)x + 6t2 - 6 = 0

             x = 21 - t21 + t2   x + xt2 = 2 - 2t2 x + 2t2 = 2 - x            t2 = 2 - x2 +x              ...(iii)

On multiplying Eq. (ii) by t and then subtract from Eq. (i), we get

- 2 - 2t2y + 6t + 6t = 0                12t = 21 + t2yOn squaring both sides, we get                 144t2 = 4y21 + t22 1442 - x2 + x = 4y21 + 2 - x2 + x2         from Eq. (iii)   362 - x2 + x = y242 +x2     36 2 - x2 + x = 16y22 + x2   364 - x2 = 16y2      94 - x2= 4y2      36 - 9x2 = 4y2     9x2 + 4y2 = 36

 x24 + y29 = 1, which represents an ellipse.
