The correct Answer is:
To solve the given problem, we need to analyze the two statements provided and verify their correctness step by step. ### Step 1: Analyze Statement 1 **Statement 1:** Tangents drawn from any point on the circle \( x^2 + y^2 = 25 \) to the ellipse \( \frac{x^2}{16} + \frac{y^2}{9} = 1 \) are at right angles. 1. **Identify the Circle and Ellipse:** - The circle is centered at the origin with a radius of 5 (since \( 25 = 5^2 \)). - The ellipse has semi-major axis \( a = 4 \) (since \( \sqrt{16} = 4 \)) and semi-minor axis \( b = 3 \) (since \( \sqrt{9} = 3 \)). 2. **Find the Director Circle of the Ellipse:** - The director circle of an ellipse is given by the equation \( x^2 + y^2 = a^2 + b^2 \). - Here, \( a^2 + b^2 = 16 + 9 = 25 \). - Therefore, the director circle for this ellipse is \( x^2 + y^2 = 25 \). 3. **Conclusion for Statement 1:** - Since the circle \( x^2 + y^2 = 25 \) is the same as the director circle of the ellipse, it follows that the tangents drawn from any point on this circle to the ellipse will indeed be at right angles. ### Step 2: Analyze Statement 2 **Statement 2:** The locus of the point of intersection of perpendicular tangents to an ellipse \( \frac{x^2}{a^2} + \frac{y^2}{b^2} = 1 \) is its director circle \( x^2 + y^2 = a^2 + b^2 \). 1. **General Equation of Tangent to the Ellipse:** - The equation of the tangent line to the ellipse in slope form is given by: \[ y = mx \pm \sqrt{a^2 m^2 + b^2} \] 2. **Finding the Point of Intersection:** - Let the point of intersection of two tangents with slopes \( m_1 \) and \( m_2 \) be \( (h, k) \). - The equations for the tangents can be set up, and by manipulating these equations, we can derive a relationship involving \( h \) and \( k \). 3. **Condition for Perpendicular Tangents:** - For the tangents to be perpendicular, the product of their slopes must equal \(-1\) (i.e., \( m_1 m_2 = -1 \)). - The product of the roots of the quadratic equation formed from the tangents will yield the locus of the intersection points. 4. **Conclusion for Statement 2:** - After simplification, we find that the locus of the point of intersection of the perpendicular tangents is indeed given by: \[ x^2 + y^2 = a^2 + b^2 \] - Thus, Statement 2 is true. ### Final Conclusion Both statements are true. Statement 2 provides a correct explanation for Statement 1. ### Final Answer: Both statements are true, and Statement 2 is a correct explanation for Statement 1.
