The correct answer is:
Given,
Ellipse
Now point which is the intersection of given ellipse with positive axis,
So, equation of line passing through is given by,
Now equation of Circle with diametric point is given by,
Let be foot of perpendicular from upon major axis,
So, from we get,
Hence,
Now Area of triangle will be,
Hence,
