If \(2 y \cos \theta=x \sin \theta\) and \(2 x \sec \theta-y \operatorname{cosec} \theta=3\), then \(x^2+4 y^2=\)
  1. 2
  2. 4
  3. 1
  4. none

Solution

We have \(2 \mathrm{y} \cos \theta=\mathrm{x} \sin \theta\) or \(\frac{\cos \theta}{\mathrm{x}}=\frac{\sin \theta}{2 \mathrm{y}}=\mathrm{k}\) (say) Then \(\cos \theta=\mathrm{kx}\) and \(\sin \theta=2 \mathrm{ky}\) ...(1) Again \(2 \mathrm{x} \sec \theta-\mathrm{y} \operatorname{cosec} \theta=3\) or \(\frac{2 \mathrm{x}}{\cos \theta}-\frac{\mathrm{y}}{\sin \theta}=3\) or \(\frac{2 \mathrm{x}}{\mathrm{kx}}-\frac{\mathrm{y}}{2 \mathrm{ky}}=3 \quad\) [from(1)] or \(\frac{2}{\mathrm{k}}-\frac{1}{2 \mathrm{k}}=3\), giving \(\mathrm{k}=\frac{1}{2}\) We now get \(\cos \theta=\frac{\mathrm{x}}{2}\) and \(\sin \theta=\mathrm{y}\) Squaring and adding we get \(\begin{aligned} & \cos ^2 \theta+\sin ^2 \theta=\frac{x^2}{4+y^2} \\ & \Rightarrow \frac{x^2}{4}+y^2=1, \text { or } x^2+4 y^2=4 \end{aligned}\)
