The number of rational points on the ellipse x29\frac{x^{2}}{9}+ y24\frac{y^{2}}{4}= 1 is–

A

B

4

C

0

D

2

Answer

Explanation

Solution

x29+y24=1\frac{x^{2}}{9} + \frac{y^{2}}{4} = 1

Let any point on ellipse be (3 cos q, 2 sin q)

Since sin q and cos q can be rational for infinite many value of q Ī [0, 2p].
