Question

If S’ and S are the foci of the ellipse fraction numerator x to the power of 2 end exponent over denominator a to the power of 2 end exponent end fraction plus fraction numerator y to the power of 2 end exponent over denominator b to the power of 2 end exponent end fraction equals 1 and a<b and P (x, y) be a point on it, then the value of SP + S’P is

  1. 2b    
  2. 2a    
  3. a – b    
  4. a + b.    

hintHint:

In an ellipse if P is a point on it and SS' are foci then
SP + S'P = Length of Major axis

The correct answer is: 2b


     Given :
    S’ and S are the foci of the ellipse fraction numerator x to the power of 2 end exponent over denominator a to the power of 2 end exponent end fraction plus fraction numerator y to the power of 2 end exponent over denominator b to the power of 2 end exponent end fraction equals 1 and a < band P (x, y) be a point on it
    Note :In an ellipse if P is a point on it and SS' are foci then
    SP + S'P = Length of Major axis
    x squared over a squared space plus space y squared over b squared space equals space 1 space comma space a less than b space rightwards double arrow space a squared space less than space b squared

    The sum of all possible numbers greater than 10,000 formed by using {1,3,5,7,9} is

    Here, some students randomly select the numbers and try to add them which is very lengthy as there are 120 numbers and can lead to mistakes. Also, some students do not consider the place value but in questions such as addition, subtraction, etc. of numbers, place value method is most promising.

    Number of different permutations of the word 'BANANA' is

    In this question, one might think that the total number of permutations for the word BANANA is 6!
    This is wrong because in the word BANANA we have the letter A repeated thrice and the letter N repeated twice.

    The number of ways in which 17 billiard balls be arranged in a row if 7 of them are black, 6 are red, 4 are white is

    We cannot arrange the billiards balls as follows:
    There are 17 balls, so the total number of arrangements = 17!
    This is incorrect because this method is applicable only when the balls are distinct, not identical. But, in our case, all the balls of the same color are identical.

    Thus we can say that the permutation concerns both the selection and the arrangement of the selected things in all possible ways.
