Given equation of ellipse is 2x2+y2=4⇒42x2+4y2=1⇒2x2+4y2=1 Equation of tangent to the ellipse 2x2+4y2=1 is y=mx±2m2+4.......(1) ( as equation of tangent to the ellipse a2x2+b2y2=1 is y=mx+c where c=±a2m2+b2 )Now, Equation of tangent to the parabolay2=163x is y=mx+m43......(2) ( as equation of tangent to the parabolay2=4ax is y=mx+ma ) On comparing (1) and (2), we getm43=±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±23Thus, statement - 1 is true.Statement - 2 is obviously true.
