\dfrac{x^2}{a^2}+\dfrac{y^2}{b^2}=1
drawn from the point (h,\,k). Probably you know that in that case, the sum of the eccentric angels of the feet of the normals (which would be the four values of \theta here) is an odd multiple of \pi.

I guess the person who made this question overlooked this or may be changed cot-1(a/x) to tan-1(x/a)
24it is from SL loney sir..a classic book...I dont think question can be wrong any way..
62I would be very careful in saying that there is a mistake in one of these classics. but here I would probably stick my neck out to say that this is a mistake.. (unless you have typed the question wrong!)
