Let 
be the acute angle between the tangents to the ellipse 
and the circle 
at their point of intersection in the first quadrant. Then 
is equal to:
A
B
C
D
2
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
B
The point of intersection of the curves 
and 
in the first quadrant is 
Now slope of tangent to the ellipse 
at 
is 
And slope of tangent to the circle at 
is 
So, if angle between both curves is 
then
