    The eccentricity of the conic \[\frac{{{(x+2)}^{2}}}{7}+{{(y-1)}^{2}}=14\]

    A)  \[\sqrt{\frac{7}{8}}\]                                    

    B)  \[\sqrt{\frac{6}{17}}\]

    C)  \[\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\]                    

    D)         \[\sqrt{\frac{6}{11}}\]

    E)  \[\sqrt{\frac{6}{7}}\]

    Correct Answer: E

    Solution :

    The equation of conic is \[\frac{{{(x+2)}^{2}}}{7}+{{(y-1)}^{2}}=14\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[\frac{{{(x+2)}^{2}}}{7\times 14}+\frac{{{(y-1)}^{2}}}{14}=1\] Here,\[{{a}^{2}}=7\times 14\]and \[{{b}^{2}}=14\] We know that, \[e=\sqrt{1-\frac{{{b}^{2}}}{{{a}^{2}}}}=\sqrt{1-\frac{{{b}^{2}}}{4{{b}^{2}}}}\]                                 \[=\sqrt{1-\frac{1}{7}}=\sqrt{\frac{6}{7}}\]
