If the normal at one end of the latusrectum of an ellipse x2a2 + y2b2 = 1 passes through the one end of the minor axis, then

  • e4 - e2 + 1 = 0

  • e2 - e + 1 = 0

  • e2 + e + 1 = 0

  • e4 + e2 - 1 = 0


D.

e4 + e2 - 1 = 0

The coordinates of the extremity of the latusrectum which lies in the first quadrant are (ae, b2/a).

The equation of the normal at (x1, y1) is

a2xx1 - b2yy' = a2 - b2

Therefore, the equation of the normal at (ae, b2/a) is

a2xae - b2yy' = a2 - b2

 ax - aey = ea2 - b2 ax - aey = ea2e2     x - ey = ae2

This passes through the extremity of the minor axis i.e., (0, - b)

 0 + eb - ae3 = 0                    b = ae2                   b2 = a2e4      a21 - e2 = a2e4  e4 + e2 - 1 = 0
