A circle of radius r is concentric with an ellipse
\(\frac{\mathrm{x}^{2}}{\mathrm{a}^{2}}+\frac{\mathrm{y}^{2}}{\mathrm{~b}^{2}}=1 .\) If common tangent is inclined to the
major axis at an angle of\(\theta,\) then\(\tan ^{2} \theta\) equals-
  1. \(\frac{r^{2}-b^{2}}{a^{2}-b^{2}}\)
  2. \(\frac{r^{2}-b^{2}}{a^{2}-r^{2}}\)
  3. \(\frac{r^{2}-b^{2}}{r^{2}-a^{2}}\)
  4. \(\frac{\mathrm{r}^{2}-\mathrm{a}^{2}}{\mathrm{~b}^{2}-\mathrm{r}^{2}}\)

Answer

(B) r^ 2 -b^ 2 a^ 2 -r^ 2
