Ellipses which are drawn with the same two perpendicular lines as axes and with the sum of the reciprocals of squares of the lengths of their semi-major axis and semi-minor axis equal to a constant have only

View answer and explanation

Correct option: B

four points in common

Option C (-

\frac{a^4}{b^4}

) is correct because the condition that the chords of contact are at right angles leads to this relationship between the coordinates of the points and the ellipse parameters.
