Let a line L pass through the point of intersection of the lines bx+10y−8=0b x+10 y-8=0 and 2x−3y=0, b∈R−{43}2 x-3 y=0, \mathrm{~b} \in \mathbf{R}-\left\{\frac{4}{3}\right\} . If the line L\mathrm{L} also passes through the point (1,1)(1,1) and touches the circle 17(x2+y2)=1617\left(x^{2}+y^{2}\right)=16 , then the eccentricity of the ellipse x25+y2 b2=1\frac{x^{2}}{5}+\frac{y^{2}}{\mathrm{~b}^{2}}=1 is :

Multiple Choice Options

  • A 25\frac{2}{\sqrt{5}}
  • B 35\sqrt{\frac{3}{5}}
  • C 15\frac{1}{\sqrt{5}}
  • D 25\sqrt{\frac{2}{5}}

Step-by-Step Verified Solution

L1:bx+10y−8=0, L2:2x−3y=0{L_1}:bx + 10y - 8 = 0,\,{L_2}:2x - 3y = 0

then L:(bx+10y−8)+λ(2x−3y)=0L:(bx + 10y - 8) + \lambda (2x - 3y) = 0

∵\because It passes through (1, 1)(1,\,1)

∴\therefore b+2−λ=0⇒λ=b+2b + 2 - \lambda = 0 \Rightarrow \lambda = b + 2

and touches the circle x2+y2=1617{x^2} + {y^2} = {{16} \over {17}}

∣82(2λ+b)2+(10−3λ)2∣=1617\left| {{{{8^2}} \over {{{(2\lambda + b)}^2} + {{(10 - 3\lambda )}^2}}}} \right| = {{16} \over {17}}

⇒4λ2+b2+4bλ+100+9λ2−60λ=68\Rightarrow 4{\lambda ^2} + {b^2} + 4b\lambda + 100 + 9{\lambda ^2} - 60\lambda = 68

⇒13(b+2)2+b2+4b(b+2)−60(b+2)+32=0\Rightarrow 13{(b + 2)^2} + {b^2} + 4b(b + 2) - 60(b + 2) + 32 = 0

⇒18b2=36\Rightarrow 18{b^2} = 36

∴\therefore b2=2{b^2} = 2

∴\therefore Eccentricity of ellipse : x25+y2b2=1{{{x^2}} \over 5} + {{{y^2}} \over {{b^2}}} = 1 is

∴\therefore e=1−25=35e = \sqrt {1 - {2 \over 5}} = \sqrt {{3 \over 5}}
