  • question_answer
    If the centre, one of the foci and semi-major axis of an ellipse be (0, 0), (0, 3) and 5 then its equation is   [AMU 1981]

    A)            \[\frac{{{x}^{2}}}{16}+\frac{{{y}^{2}}}{25}=1\]                            

    B)            \[\frac{{{x}^{2}}}{25}+\frac{{{y}^{2}}}{16}=1\]

    C)            \[\frac{{{x}^{2}}}{9}+\frac{{{y}^{2}}}{25}=1\]                              

    D)            None of these

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

               Centre (0, 0), focus (0, 3), \[b=5\] Focus (0, 3) Þ \[be=3\]Þ \[e=3/5\] Þ \[a=b\sqrt{1-{{e}^{2}}}=4\] Hence the required equation is\[\frac{{{x}^{2}}}{16}+\frac{{{y}^{2}}}{25}=1\].
