    Length of major axis of ellipse \[9{{x}^{2}}+7{{y}^{2}}=63\] is

    A) \[3\]                                     

    B) \[9\]

    C) \[6\]                                     

    D) \[2\sqrt{7}\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Key Idea: For the ellipse\[\frac{{{x}^{2}}}{{{a}^{2}}}+\frac{{{y}^{2}}}{{{b}^{2}}}=1\] the length of major axis \[=2a\], if \[a>b\]  and major axis is \[2b\], if\[a<b\]. Given equation of ellipse\[9{{x}^{2}}+7{{y}^{2}}=63\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[\frac{{{x}^{2}}}{7}+\frac{{{y}^{2}}}{9}=1\] \[{{a}^{2}}=7,{{b}^{2}}=9\] Since,    \[a<b\] \[\Rightarrow \]Length of major axis\[=2b=6\]
