        The foci of an ellipse are\[(0,\pm 4)\]and the equations for the directories are\[y=\pm 9\]. The equation for the ellipse is

    A)  \[5{{x}^{2}}+9{{y}^{2}}=4\]        

    B)  \[2{{x}^{2}}-6{{y}^{2}}=28\]

    C)  \[6{{x}^{2}}+3{{y}^{2}}=45\]     

    D)  \[9{{x}^{2}}+5{{y}^{2}}=180\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

                     Given foci of ellipse are (0, - 4) and (0, 4). \[\therefore \]Focal distance is 8. \[\Rightarrow \]               \[2be=8\] \[\Rightarrow \]             \[be=4\]                                   ...(i) Also, since equation of directories are\[y=\pm 9\] \[\Rightarrow \]                 \[\frac{b}{e}=9\]                                   ...(ii) \[\therefore \]From Eqs. (i) and (ii), we get \[{{b}^{2}}=36\] \[\Rightarrow \]    \[b=6\]and\[e=\frac{2}{3}\]                   [from Eq. (i)] \[\therefore \]\[{{a}^{2}}={{b}^{2}}(1-{{e}^{2}})=36\left( 1-\frac{4}{9} \right)=\frac{36\times 5}{9}=20\] So, equation of ellipse is                 \[\frac{{{x}^{2}}}{20}+\frac{{{y}^{2}}}{36}=1\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[9{{x}^{2}}+5{{y}^{2}}=180\]
