Given equation of ellipse is
2x2+y2=4⇒‌+‌=1⇒‌+‌=1 Equation of tangent to the ellipse
‌+‌=1 is
y=mx±√2m2+4.......(1)
( as equation of tangent to the ellipse
‌+‌=1 is
y=mx+c where
c=±√a2m2+b2 )
Now, Equation of tangent to the parabola
y2=16√3x is
y=mx+‌......(2)
( as equation of tangent to the parabola
y2=4ax‌ is ‌y=mx+‌‌ ) ‌On comparing (1) and (2), we get
‌=±√2m2+4 Squaring on both the sides, we get
‌16(3)=(2m2+4)m2‌⇒48=m2(2m2+4)⇒2m4+4m2−48=0‌⇒m4+2m2−24=0⇒(m2+6)(m2−4)=0‌⇒m2=4‌ ( as ‌m2≠−6)⇒m=±2⇒ Equation of common tangents are
y=±2x±2√3Thus, statement - 1 is true.
Statement - 2 is obviously true.
