The equation of the normal to the ellipse $\frac{{{x^2}}}{{{a^2}}} + \frac{{{y^2}}}{{{b^2}}} = 1$ at the point $(a\cos \theta ,\;b\sin \theta )$ is

  • A

    $\frac{{ax}}{{\sin \theta }} - \frac{{by}}{{\cos \theta }} = {a^2} - {b^2}$

  • B

    $\frac{{ax}}{{\sin \theta }} - \frac{{by}}{{\cos \theta }} = {a^2} + {b^2}$

  • C

    $\frac{{ax}}{{\cos \theta }} - \frac{{by}}{{\sin \theta }} = {a^2} - {b^2}$

  • D

    $\frac{{ax}}{{\cos \theta }} - \frac{{by}}{{\sin \theta }} = {a^2} + {b^2}$
