If the ellipse 
+ 
= 1 meets x-axis in A and y-axis in B in first quadrant, then area between the arc AB and the chord AB of the ellipse is -
A
ab ( π + 2)
B
ab ( π – 2)
C
ab ( π – 4)
D
None of these
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
B
+ 
= 1 … (1) ⇒ y = ± 
Equation of chord AB is y – 0 = 
(x – a) or
y = – 
(x – a) … (2)
∴ Required
area= 
= 
= 
( π – 2).
