10-2. Parabola, Ellipse, Hyperbola
normal
Let $A,B$ and $C$ are three points on ellipse $\frac{x^2}{25}+\frac{y^2}{16}=1$where line joing $A \,\,\&\,\, C$ is parallel to the $x-$axis and $B$ is end point of minor axis whose ordinate is positive then maximum area of $\Delta ABC,$ is-
A
$12\sqrt 3$
B
$20$
C
$15\sqrt 3$
D
$20\sqrt 3$
Solution

Area $=\frac{1}{2} 10 \cos \theta(4+4 \sin \theta)$
$\frac{\mathrm{d} \mathrm{A}}{\mathrm{d} \theta}=0 \Rightarrow \theta=\frac{\pi}{6}$
$A_{\max }=15 \sqrt{3}$
