Solution

The correct option is C (32,1)
Equation of the ellipse is x23+y24=1
Let point P be(3cosθ,2sinθ),θ (0,π2)
Clearly, line PQ isy=2sinθ,
line PR isx=3cosθand OQ is y=x, and Q is (2sinθ,2sinθ)
Z= area of the region PQORP (trapezium)
=12(OR+PQ)PR
=12(3cosθ+(3cosθ2sinθ))2sinθ
=(23cosθsinθ2sin2θ)
=(3sin2θ+cos2θ1)
=2cos(2θπ3)1
Which is maximum when cos(2θπ3)=1 or
2θπ3=0θ=π6
Hence, point P is (32,1)
