A tangent is draw to the ellipse 
so that per
intercepted by the axes is minimum. The length of this part
of the tangent is
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
C
Equation of tangent 
Length of AB = 
t = 
⇒ ⇒ 
so 
= 
= 45 + 36
t = 81 
so minimum length intercepted = '9'
so 'C' is correct.
