The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the condition under which the line \( lx + my + n = 0 \) intersects the ellipse given by \( \frac{x^2}{a^2} + \frac{y^2}{b^2} = 1 \) at points where the eccentric angles differ by \( \frac{\pi}{2} \). ### Step-by-step Solution: 1. **Identify Points on the Ellipse**: The general point on the ellipse can be represented in terms of the eccentric angle \( \theta \) as: \[ P = (a \cos \theta, b \sin \theta) \] The second point, which differs by \( \frac{\pi}{2} \), can be represented as: \[ Q = (a \cos(\theta + \frac{\pi}{2}), b \sin(\theta + \frac{\pi}{2}) ) \] Using the trigonometric identities, we find: \[ Q = (a \cos(\theta + \frac{\pi}{2}), b \sin(\theta + \frac{\pi}{2}) ) = (-a \sin \theta, b \cos \theta) \] 2. **Substituting Points into the Line Equation**: Since both points \( P \) and \( Q \) lie on the line \( lx + my + n = 0 \), we substitute these points into the line equation. For point \( P \): \[ l(a \cos \theta) + m(b \sin \theta) + n = 0 \implies la \cos \theta + mb \sin \theta = -n \tag{1} \] For point \( Q \): \[ l(-a \sin \theta) + m(b \cos \theta) + n = 0 \implies -la \sin \theta + mb \cos \theta = -n \tag{2} \] 3. **Squaring and Adding the Two Equations**: To eliminate \( \theta \), we square both equations and add them: \[ (la \cos \theta + mb \sin \theta)^2 + (-la \sin \theta + mb \cos \theta)^2 = n^2 + n^2 \] Expanding both sides: \[ (la)^2 \cos^2 \theta + 2labm \cos \theta \sin \theta + (mb)^2 \sin^2 \theta + (la)^2 \sin^2 \theta - 2labm \sin \theta \cos \theta + (mb)^2 \cos^2 \theta = 2n^2 \] Simplifying gives: \[ (la)^2 (\cos^2 \theta + \sin^2 \theta) + (mb)^2 (\sin^2 \theta + \cos^2 \theta) = 2n^2 \] Using the identity \( \cos^2 \theta + \sin^2 \theta = 1 \): \[ a^2 l^2 + b^2 m^2 = 2n^2 \] 4. **Final Condition**: The condition under which the line intersects the ellipse at points with eccentric angles differing by \( \frac{\pi}{2} \) is: \[ a^2 l^2 + b^2 m^2 = 2n^2 \]

To solve the problem, we need to find the condition under which the line \( lx + my + n = 0 \) intersects the ellipse given by \( \frac{x^2}{a^2} + \frac{y^2}{b^2} = 1 \) at points where the eccentric angles differ by \( \frac{\pi}{2} \). ### Step-by-step Solution: 1. **Identify Points on the Ellipse**: The general point on the ellipse can be represented in terms of the eccentric angle \( \theta \) as: \[ P = (a \cos \theta, b \sin \theta) ...
