The slope of the common tangent to the ellipse \(\frac{x^{2}}{a^{2}}+\frac{y^{2}}{b^{2}}=1\) and a concentric circle of radius r is,
  1. \(\tan ^{-1}\left(\sqrt{\frac{r^{2}-b^{2}}{a^{2}-r^{2}}}\right)\)
  2. \(\sqrt{\frac{r^{2}-b^{2}}{a^{2}-r^{2}}}\)
  3. \(\left(\frac{r^{2}-b^{2}}{a^{2}-r^{2}}\right)\)
  4. \(\sqrt{\frac{a^{2}-r^{2}}{r^{2}-b^{2}}}\)

Answer

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