  • A
    $\{-1, 1\}$
  • B
    $\{-2, 2\}$
  • C

Let $\theta$ be the acute angle between the tangents to the ellipse $\frac{x^{2}}{9}+\frac{y^{2}}{1}=1$ and the circle $x^{2}+y^{2}=3$ at their point of intersection in the first quadrant. Then $\tan \theta$ is equal to:

Tangents are drawn to a unit circle with centre at the origin from each point on the line $2x + y = 4$. Then the equation to the locus of the middle point of the chord of contact is

If $\theta$ is the angle between the curves $y^2=4x$ and $x^2+y^2=5$, then $|\tan \theta|=$

Let the line $x-y+1=0$ intersect the circle $x^2+y^2+2x+2y+1=0$ at two points $A$ and $B$. If $AB$ is the diameter of the circle $x^2+y^2+2gx+2fy+c=0$,then $g+f=$

If from any point on the circle $x^2+y^2+2gx+2fy+c=0$,tangents are drawn to the circle $x^2+y^2+2gx+2fy+c \sin^2 \alpha + (g^2+f^2) \cos^2 \alpha = 0$,where $0 < \alpha < \frac{\pi}{2}$,then the angle between those tangents is
