    The equation to the ellipse referred to its axes as the axes of\[x\]and \[y\]respectively) whose foci are \[(\pm \,2,0)\] and eccentricity 1/2 is:

    A)  \[\frac{{{x}^{2}}}{12}+\frac{{{y}^{2}}}{16}=1\]                  

    B)  \[\frac{{{x}^{2}}}{16}+\frac{{{y}^{2}}}{12}=1\]

    C)  \[\frac{{{x}^{2}}}{16}+\frac{{{y}^{2}}}{8}=1\]                     

    D)  none of these

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Let the ellipse be\[\frac{{{x}^{2}}}{{{a}^{2}}}+\frac{{{y}^{2}}}{{{b}^{2}}}=1.\] It is given that \[e=1/2\] and\[ae=2.\]Therefore,\[a=4\]Now \[{{b}^{2}}={{a}^{2}}(1-{{e}^{2}})\Rightarrow {{b}^{2}}=12\] The required ellipse is \[\frac{{{x}^{2}}}{16}+\frac{{{y}^{2}}}{12}=1\]
