JEE Main & Advanced Mathematics Conic Sections Question Bank Ellipse

  • question_answer
    The equation of the ellipse whose one of the vertices is (0,7) and the corresponding directrix is \[y=12\], is

    A)            \[95{{x}^{2}}+144{{y}^{2}}=4655\]  

    B)            \[144{{x}^{2}}+95{{y}^{2}}=4655\]

    C)            \[95{{x}^{2}}+144{{y}^{2}}=13680\]

    D)            None of these

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

               Vertex (0,7), directrix \[y=12\], \ \[b=7\]            Also \[\frac{b}{e}=12\]Þ \[e=\frac{7}{12},\ a=7\sqrt{\frac{95}{144}}\]            Hence equation of ellipse is \[144{{x}^{2}}+95{{y}^{2}}=4655\].
