Question

If C is the centre of the ellipse 9x2 + 16y2 = 144 and S is one focus. The ratio of CS to major axis, is

  1. square root of 7 : 16    
  2. square root of 7 : 4:    
  3. square root of 5 : square root of 7    
  4. None of these    

hintHint:

find out the values of a ,b and e from the equation. and find the distances from the centre.

The correct answer is: None of these



    √7 : 4
    a2=16
    b2=9
    e2=1-9/16
    e=√7/4
    S: (√7,0)
    CS = √7
    CS : a = √7 : 4

    centre of the ellipse is 0,0 and focus is ae,0
