Let O=(x_1 ,y_1 )  ∵ It is on the circle   ∴x_1 ^2 +y_1 ^2 = d^2  .....(i)  Now the equation of the chord of contact   PQ ≡ ((xx_1 )/a^2 ) + ((yy_1 )/b^2 ) = 1 ....(ii)  Let the midpoint of P(x_2 ,y_2 ) and Q(x_3 ,y_3 )  be (h,k)  i.e   x_2 +x_3  = 2h.....(iii)  and y_2 +y_3  = 2k .....(iv)  as (ii) intersects the ellipse (x^2 /a^2 ) +(y^2 /b^2 ) = 1...(v)  putting  (y/b) = (b/y_1 )(1−((xx_1 )/a^2 ))  from  (ii) to (v)  we get,               (x^2 /a^2 ) +(b^2 /y_1 ^2 )(1−((xx_1 )/a^2 ))^2 = 1         ⇒  x^2 {(1/a^2 )+((b^2 x_1 ^2 )/(a^4 y_1 ^2 ))}−x.2(x_1 /y_1 ^2 ).(b^2 /a^2 ) +((b^2 /y_1 ^2 ) −1)=0     ∴ x_2 +x_3 = ((2x_1 a^2 b^2 )/((a^2 y_1 ^2 +b^2 x_1 ^2 )))          h = ((x_1 a^2 b^2 )/((a^2 y_1 ^2 +b^2 x_1 ^2 )))  similarly we can get           k = ((y_1 a^2 b^2 )/((a^2 y_1 ^2 +b^2 x_1 ^2 )))   now            h^2 +k^2 = ((a^4 b^4 )/((a^2 y_1 ^2 +b^2 x_1 ^2 )^2 )){x_1 ^2 +y_1 ^2 }           h^2  + k^2  = d^2 .(1/(((x_1 ^2 /a^2 )+(y_1 ^2 /b^2 ))^2 ))    ∵ from (i)  ∴  the locus of the mipoint is         x^2 +y^2 = d^2 [(x_1 ^2 /a^2 ) + (y_1 ^2 /b^2 )]^(−2)   I get this . Is the given question is correct ?  please check.
