Steps are given to draw a normal and a tangent to the ellipse at a point Q on it. Arrange the steps. i. Draw a line ST through Q and perpendicular to NM. ii. ST is the required tangent. iii. Join Q with the foci F1 and F2. iv. Draw a line NM bisecting the angle between the lines drawn before which is normal. Correct Answer iii, iv, i, ii

Tangents are the lines which touch the curves at only one point. Normals are perpendiculars of tangents. As in the circles first, we found the normal using foci (centre in circle) and then perpendicular at given point gives tangent.
