The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the given ellipse and the conditions provided. Here’s a step-by-step solution: ### Step 1: Understand the Ellipse and its Normal The equation of the ellipse is given by: \[ \frac{x^2}{a^2} + \frac{y^2}{b^2} = 1 \] The parametric coordinates of a point \( P \) on the ellipse can be expressed as: \[ P(a \cos \theta, b \sin \theta) \] ### Step 2: Write the Equation of the Normal The equation of the normal at point \( P \) can be derived using the slope of the tangent. The slope of the tangent at point \( P \) is given by: \[ \frac{dy}{dx} = -\frac{b^2 \cos \theta}{a^2 \sin \theta} \] Thus, the slope of the normal is the negative reciprocal: \[ \text{slope of normal} = \frac{a^2 \sin \theta}{b^2 \cos \theta} \] Using the point-slope form of the equation of a line, the equation of the normal at point \( P \) is: \[ y - b \sin \theta = \frac{a^2 \sin \theta}{b^2 \cos \theta} (x - a \cos \theta) \] ### Step 3: Auxiliary Circle The auxiliary circle of the ellipse has the equation: \[ x^2 + y^2 = a^2 \] ### Step 4: Intersection of Normal and Auxiliary Circle To find the points \( Q \) and \( R \) where the normal intersects the auxiliary circle, we substitute the equation of the normal into the equation of the circle. ### Step 5: Condition for Angle \( \angle QOR = 90^\circ \) For the angle \( \angle QOR \) to be \( 90^\circ \), the condition is that the coefficients of \( x^2 \) and \( y^2 \) in the resulting equation must satisfy: \[ \text{Coefficient of } x^2 + \text{Coefficient of } y^2 = 1 \] ### Step 6: Simplification After substituting and simplifying, we find that: \[ 1 - \frac{a^4 \sec^2 \theta}{a^2 - b^2} + 1 - \frac{b^4 \csc^2 \theta}{a^2 - b^2} = 0 \] This leads to the condition: \[ 2 - \left( \frac{a^4 \sec^2 \theta + b^4 \csc^2 \theta}{a^2 - b^2} \right) = 0 \] ### Step 7: Rearranging and Applying AM-GM Inequality We rearrange the terms and apply the Arithmetic Mean-Geometric Mean (AM-GM) inequality: \[ a^4 + 2b^4 - 5a^2b^2 \geq 2a^3b \] This gives us the necessary condition for the angles formed by the intersection points. ### Conclusion The final condition derived from the above steps leads us to the conclusion that the correct option is: \[ \text{Option B: } a^4 + 2b^4 - 5a^2b^2 \geq 2a^3b \]

To solve the problem, we need to analyze the given ellipse and the conditions provided.
