Question
The line passing through the extremity A of the major axis and extremity B of the minor axis of the ellipse x2 + 9y2 = 9 meets its auxiliary circle at the point M. Then the area of the triangle with vertices at A, M and the origin O is
Options
A.

B.

C.

D.

Solution
Equation of line AM is x + 3y - 3 = 0
Perpendicular distance of line from origin =
Length of AM = 2
⇒ Area =
sq. units.
