54)

55) ⇒
x2 + y2 = 25 ⇒
∴ 35m + 15 = 25 + 25m2
2

⇒ m2 = 1 ⇒ m = 1, –1
common tangents :

Area bounded
∴ a=5

56)

For least area, circle must touch the ellipse solving the two equations

(b2 – a2)x2 + 2a2x – a2b2 = 0

D=0
2 2 2 2
∴ a + b (b – a ) = 0 ......(1)
Also b = a (1 – e2)
2 2
......(2)
2 2 2 2
∴ a + b (–a e ) = 0

thus

Area =
ƒ(e) = e4 – e6
ƒ'(e) = 4e3 – 6e5 = 0
2e3(2 – 3e2) = 0

57) Let r is radius of circle

x2 + (y – 3)2 = r2

foci are since circle passes through

7 + 9 = r2 ⇒ r = 4

58) Given result is ellipse

Then two positions (0, 2) & (0, –2) are possible for maximum area

59)

60) Let
Equation of tangents at P and Q are,
and

So
Equations of circles with OP & OQ as diameters are

and

respectively

and
Then point of intersection of circles are O(0, 0) and

Since OR makes an angle with x-axis, there fore

So,
