  • question_answer
    The length of the latus rectum of the ellipse \[9{{x}^{2}}+4{{y}^{2}}=1\], is       [MP PET 1999]

    A)            \[\frac{3}{2}\]                           

    B)            \[\frac{8}{3}\]

    C)            \[\frac{4}{9}\]                           

    D)            \[\frac{8}{9}\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

               Given ellipse is \[\frac{{{x}^{2}}}{{{\left( \frac{1}{3} \right)}^{2}}}+\frac{{{y}^{2}}}{{{\left( \frac{1}{2} \right)}^{2}}}=1\] Here \[b>a\]; \[\therefore \]Latus rectum \[=\frac{2{{a}^{2}}}{b}=\frac{2\times \frac{1}{9}}{\frac{1}{2}}=\frac{4}{9}\].
