The tangent at a point P on the ellipse ...

The tangent at a point P on the ellipse `(x^(2))/(a^(2))+(y^(2))/(b^(2))=1`, which in not an extremely of major axis meets a directrix at T. Statement-1: The circle on PT as diameter passes through the focus of the ellipse corresponding to the directrix on which T lies.
Statement-2: Pt substends is a right angle at the focus of the ellipse corresponding to the directrix on which T lies.

A

Statement 1 is True, Statement -2 is True, Statement -2 is a correct exlpanation for Statement 1

B

Statement 1 is True, Statement -2 is True, Statement -2 is NOT a correct exlpanation for Statement 1

C

Statement-1 is True Statement-2 is False

D

Statement-1 is False, Statement-2 is True
