    The least of value of eccentricity of an ellipse length of whose minor axis is always less than or equal to half the major axis is

    A) \[cos\text{ }60{}^\circ \]

    B)        \[cos\text{ 3}0{}^\circ \]

    C)    \[cos\text{ 45}{}^\circ \]

    D)        \[cos\text{ 75}{}^\circ \]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

      [b] \[a\ge 2b\Rightarrow \frac{b}{a}\le \frac{1}{2}\] \[\therefore \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,{{e}^{2}}=1-\frac{{{b}^{2}}}{{{a}^{2}}}\ge 1-\frac{1}{4}=\frac{3}{4}\] \[\Rightarrow \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,e\ge \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\] \[\therefore \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,{{e}_{\min }}=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\]
