If a tangent having slope $m = \frac{1}{3}$ to the ellipse $\frac{x^2}{a^2} + \frac{y^2}{b^2} = 1$ $(a > b)$ is a normal to the circle $(x + 1)^2 + (y + 1)^2 = 1$,then $a^2$ lies in the interval:

  • A
    $\left(\frac{2}{5}, 4\right)$
  • B
    $\left(\frac{1}{2}, 2\right)$
  • C
    $\left(1, \frac{10}{9}\right)$
  • D
    $(3, 5)$

Consider an ellipse,whose centre is at the origin and its major axis is along the $x-$ axis. If its eccentricity is $\frac{3}{5}$ and the distance between its foci is $6$,then the area (in sq. units) of the quadrilateral inscribed in the ellipse,with the vertices as the vertices of the ellipse,is

Consider ellipses $E_{k}: kx^{2} + k^{2}y^{2} = 1$,for $k = 1, 2, \ldots, 20$. Let $C_{k}$ be the circle which touches the four chords joining the end points (one on the minor axis and another on the major axis) of the ellipse $E_{k}$. If $r_{k}$ is the radius of the circle $C_{k}$,then the value of $\sum_{k=1}^{20} \frac{1}{r_{k}^{2}}$ is $.......$.
