      The area of the rectangle formed by the perpendiculars from the Centre of ellipse \[\frac{{{x}^{2}}}{{{a}^{2}}}+\frac{{{y}^{2}}}{{{b}^{2}}}=\]1 to the tangent and normal at a points whose eccentric angle is \[\frac{\pi }{4}is\left( a>b \right)\]

    A) \[\frac{\left( {{a}^{2}}-{{b}^{2}} \right)ab}{{{a}^{2}}+{{b}^{2}}}\]

    B) \[\frac{\left( {{a}^{2}}+{{b}^{2}} \right)ab}{{{a}^{2}}-{{b}^{2}}}\]

    C) \[ab\]

    D) \[\frac{{{a}^{2}}{{b}^{2}}}{{{a}^{2}}+{{b}^{2}}}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Equation of the tangent at \[\frac{\pi }{4}\]is \[\frac{x\left( \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \right)}{a}+\frac{y\left( \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \right)}{b}=1\]
    i.e., \[\frac{x}{a}+\frac{y}{b}-\sqrt{2}=0..(i)\]
    Equation of the normal at \[\frac{\pi }{4}\]is \[\frac{x}{a}-\frac{y}{b}=\frac{a}{b\sqrt{2}}-\frac{b}{a\sqrt{2}}...(ii)\]
    \[{{P}_{1}}\]=length of the perpendicular from the Centre to the tangent \[=\left| \frac{-\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{\frac{1}{{{a}^{2}}}+\frac{1}{{{b}^{2}}}}} \right|\]
    \[=\frac{\sqrt{2}ab}{\sqrt{{{a}^{2}}+{{b}^{2}}}}\]
    \[{{P}_{2}}\]=length of the perpendicular from the Centre to the normal
    \[=\left| \frac{\frac{a}{b\sqrt{2}}-\frac{b}{a\sqrt{2}}}{\sqrt{\frac{1}{{{a}^{2}}}+\frac{1}{{{b}^{2}}}}} \right|\]\[=\frac{{{a}^{2}}-{{b}^{2}}}{\sqrt{2}\sqrt{{{a}^{2}}+{{b}^{2}}}}.\]
    Area of the rectangle =\[{{P}_{1}}{{P}_{2}}\]\[=\frac{ab\left( {{a}^{2}}-{{b}^{2}} \right)}{{{a}^{2}}+{{b}^{2}}}\]
