Let

P, Q, R

be three points on the ellipse

\frac{x^2}{a^2}+\frac{y^2}{b^2}=1

and

P^{\prime}, Q^{\prime}

and

R^{\prime}

be the corresponding points on the auxiliary circle. Then,
Area of

\triangle P Q R

: Area of

\triangle P^{\prime} Q^{\prime} R^{\prime}=

View answer and explanation

Option B (

b: a

) is correct because the ratio of the areas of the triangles is equal to the ratio of the semi-minor axis to the semi-major axis.
