JEE Main & Advanced Mathematics Conic Sections Question Bank Ellipse

  • question_answer
    The equation of the ellipse whose centre is (2, ?3), one of the foci is (3, ?3) and the corresponding vertex is       (4, ?3) is

    A)            \[\frac{{{(x-2)}^{2}}}{3}+\frac{{{(y+3)}^{2}}}{4}=1\]                   

    B)            \[\frac{{{(x-2)}^{2}}}{4}+\frac{{{(y+3)}^{2}}}{3}=1\]

    C)            \[\frac{{{x}^{2}}}{3}+\frac{{{y}^{2}}}{4}=1\]                                

    D)            None of these

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

               Foci \[=(3,-3)\]Þ \[ae=3-2=1\]            Vertex \[=(4,-3)\]Þ \[a=4-2=2\]Þ \[e=\frac{1}{2}\]                      Þ \[b=a\sqrt{\left( 1-\frac{1}{4} \right)}=\frac{2}{2}\sqrt{3}=\sqrt{3}\]            Therefore, equation of ellipse with centre \[(2,-3)\]is            \[\frac{{{(x-2)}^{2}}}{4}+\frac{{{(y+3)}^{2}}}{3}=1\].
