Let $C$ be the largest circle centred at $(2,0)$ and inscribed in the ellipse $\frac{x^2}{36}+\frac{y^2}{16}=1$If $(1, a)$ lies on $C$, then $10 \alpha^2$ is equal to
Correct Answer: 118
Solution and Explanation
The correct answer is 118.
this normal is also the normal of the circle passing through the point So,
or (Not possible) and so point
So the largest radius of circle
So the equation of circle
Passing it through

Concepts Used:
Ellipse
Ellipse Shape
An ellipse is a locus of a point that moves in such a way that its distance from a fixed point (focus) to its perpendicular distance from a fixed straight line (directrix) is constant. i.e. eccentricity(e) which is less than unity
Properties
- Ellipse has two focal points, also called foci.
- The fixed distance is called a directrix.
- The eccentricity of the ellipse lies between 0 to 1. 0≤e<1
- The total sum of each distance from the locus of an ellipse to the two focal points is constant
- Ellipse has one major axis and one minor axis and a center

Eccentricity of the Ellipse
The ratio of distances from the center of the ellipse from either focus to the semi-major axis of the ellipse is defined as the eccentricity of the ellipse.
The eccentricity of ellipse, e = c/a
Where c is the focal length and a is length of the semi-major axis.
Since c ≤ a the eccentricity is always greater than 1 in the case of an ellipse.
Also,
c2 = a2 – b2
Therefore, eccentricity becomes:
e = √(a2 – b2)/a
e = √[(a2 – b2)/a2] e = √[1-(b2/a2)]
Area of an ellipse
The area of an ellipse = πab, where a is the semi major axis and b is the semi minor axis.
Position of point related to Ellipse
Let the point p(x1, y1) and ellipse
(x2 / a2) + (y2 / b2) = 1
If [(x12 / a2)+ (y12 / b2) − 1)]
= 0 {on the curve}
<0{inside the curve}
>0 {outside the curve}
