the line lx + my +n = 0 is a normal to the ellipse x2/a2 + y2/b2 = 1 if
 
(a) a2/l2 - b2/m2 = (a2 - b2)2 / n2
 
(b) a2/m2 + b2/l2 = (a2 - b2)2 / n2
 
(c) a2/l2 + b2/m2 = (a2 - b2)2 / n2
 
(d) none of these

eqn of normal to ellipse is y=Mx+rt(a^2M^2+b^2) (M is slope of normal)
in this line, M=-l/m
so equate rt(a^2l^2/m^2 + b^2)=-n/l n get the answer

hey isnt that the condition fr line to be tangent of ellipse?? i think the eqn to normal given as a^2 x/ x1 - b^2 y/ y1 = a^2- b^2 wud help cuz by ur method 'm not gettin a a^2- b^2 term as needed by the options.. here x1 n y1 lie on the ellipse..but how do u eliminate them both is the ques..

oops sory!buzd up
now c
any point on ellipse will be (acosw, bsinw) (w is any angle)
normal at point w is
asecwx-bcosecwy=a^2-b^2
now compare
l/asecw=-m/bcosecw=-n/(a^2-b^2)
u get cosw=-an/l(a^2-b^2) n sinw=bn/m(a^2-b^2)
apply cos^2w+sin^2w=1
