Tangents are drawn to the ellipse (x^2)/(a^2)+(y^2)/(b^2)=1,(a > b), and the circle x^2+y^2=a^2 at the points where a common ordinate cuts them (on the same side of the x-axis). Then the greatest acute angle between these tangents is given by (A) tan^(-1)((a-b)/(2sqrt(a b))) (B) tan^(-1)((a+b)/(2sqrt(a b))) (C) tan^(-1)((2a b)/(sqrt(a-b))) (D) tan^(-1)((2a b)/(sqrt(a+b)))
