medium

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

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

Solution

(c) $ax\sec \theta – by{\rm{ cosec}}\theta = {a^2} – {b^2}$.
