MCQ
Let a variable line of slope $m>0$ passing through the point $(4,-9)$ intersect the coordinate axes at the points $A$ and $B$. the minimum value of the sum of the distances of $\mathrm{A}$ and $\mathrm{B}$ from the origin is
  • $25$
  • B
    $30$
  • C
    $15$
  • D
    $10$

Answer

Correct option: A.
$25$
a
equation of line is

$ y+9=m(x-4) $

$ \therefore \quad A=\left(\frac{9+4 m}{m}, 0\right) $

$ \quad B=(0,-9-4 m) $

$ \therefore \quad O A+O B=\frac{9+4 m}{m}+9+4 m$

$ \because \mathrm{m}>0 $

$ =13+\frac{9}{\mathrm{~m}}+4 \mathrm{~m} $

$ \because \frac{4 \mathrm{~m}+\frac{9}{\mathrm{~m}}}{2} \geq \sqrt{36} \Rightarrow 4 \mathrm{~m}+\frac{9}{\mathrm{~m}} \geq 12 $

$ \therefore \mathrm{OA}+\mathrm{OB} \geq 25$

Consider the ellipse

$\frac{x^2}{4}+\frac{y^2}{3}=1$

Let $H (\alpha, 0), 0<\alpha<2$, be a point. A straight line drawn through $H$ parallel to the $y$-axis crosses the ellipse and its auxiliary circle at points $E$ and $F$ respectively, in the first quadrant. The tangent to the ellipse at the point $E$ intersects the positive $x$-axis at a point $G$. Suppose the straight line joining $F$ and the origin makes an angle $\phi$ with the positive $x$-axis.
