  • Question 1
    4 / -1

    The length of the semi-latus-rectum of an ellipse is one third of its major axis, its eccentricity would be

    Solution

    Correct Answer :- a

    Explanation : Semi latus rectum of ellipse = one half the last rectum

    b2/a = 1/3*2a

    b2 = 2a2/3

    b = (2a/3)1/2...........(1)

    So, b2/a = a(1-e2)

    b2 = a2(1-e2)

    Substituting from (1)

    2a2/3 = a2(1-e2)

    e2 = 1-2/3

    e2 = 1/(3)1/2

  • Question 2
    4 / -1

    In the ellipse x2 + 3y2 = 9 the distance between the foci is

    Solution

    x2 + 3y2 = 9
    ⇒(x2)/9 + (y2)/3=1
    ⇒a2=9, b2=3
    ⇒e=[1−b2/a2]1/2
    =(2/3)1/2
    Therefore, distance between foci is =2ae = 2 × 3 × (2/3)1/2
    =2(6)1/2

  • Question 3
    4 / -1

    The eccentricity of the ellipse 9x2 + 5y2 – 30y = 0 is:

    Solution

    9x2 + 5y2 - 30y = 0
    9x2 + 5(y−3)2 = 45
    We can write it as : [(x-0)2]/5 + [(y-3)2]/9 = 1
    Compare it with x2/a2 + y2/b2 = 1
    e = [(b2 - a2)/b2]½
    e = [(9-5)/9]1/2
    e = (4/9)½
    e = ⅔

  • Question 4
    4 / -1

    The centre of the ellipse  is:

    Solution

    Centre of the ellipse is the intersection point of 
    x+y−1=0.........(1) 
    x−y=0............(2)
    Substituting x from equation 2 in equation 1 two equations, we get,
    2y=2,   y=1 
    Replacing, we get x=1
    ⇒(1,1) is the centre

  • Question 5
    4 / -1

     = 1, the length of the major axis is

    Solution

  • Question 6
    4 / -1

    The eccentricity of an ellipse, with its centre at the origin, is 1/2. If one of the directrix is x = 4, then the equation of the ellipse is:

    Solution

    Let the equation of ellipse (x2)/(a2)+(y2)/(b2)=1
    Here a > ba > b because the directrix is parallel to y axis.
    b2=a2(1−e2)
    Given e= 1/2
    ⇒b2 = (3/4)a2
    But a/e=4
    ⇒a=2
    Putting a=2 we get b= (3)1/2
    ​Required ellipse is (x2)/4+(y2)/3=1
    ⇒3x2+4y2=12

  • Question 7
    4 / -1

    The eccentricity of an ellipse whose latus rectum is equal to distance between foci is:

    Solution

    Distance between the foci of an ellipse = length of latus rectum
    i.e.  (2b2)/a=2ae
    e=b2/a2
    But e=[1−b2/a2]1/2
    Then e=(1−e)1/2
    Squaring both sides, we get
    e+e−1=0
    e=−1 ± (1 + 4)1/2]/2
    (∵ Eccentricity cannot be negative)
    e=[(5)1/2 − 1]/2

  • Question 8
    4 / -1

    The foci of the ellipse 25 (x + 1)2 + 9(y + 2)2 = 225 are at:

    Solution

    Here equation of ellipse is 25(x + 1)2 + 9(y + 2)2 = 225 
    0r (x + 1)2/9 + (y + 2)2/25 = 1 
    Centre of the ellipse is (–1,–2) 
    a2 = 9, b2  = 25 
    a = 3, b = 5
    e = (1-a2/b2)1/2
    e = (1-9/25)1/2
    e = +-4/5
    be = +-4
    Foci : (-1,-6)(-1,2)

  • Question 9
    4 / -1

    The equation of the ellipse whose one focus is at (4, 0) and whose eccentricity is  4/5 is:

    Solution

    focus lies on x axis
    So, the equation  of ellipse is x2/a2 + y2/b2 = 1
    Co-ordinate of focus(+-ae, 0)
    ae = 4
    e = ⅘
    a = 4/e  => 4/(⅘)
    a = 5
    (a)2 = 25
    b2 = a2(1-e2)
    = 25(1-16/25)
    b2 = 9
    Required equation : x2/(5)2 + y2/(3)2 = 1

  • Question 10
    4 / -1

    The radius of the circle given by 2x2 + 2y2 – x = 0 is

    Solution

    2x² + 2y² - x = 0 .
    ==> 2 ( x² + y² - x/2 ) = 0 .
    ==> 2/2 ( x² + y² - x/2 ) = 0/2 .
    ==> x² - x/2 + y² = 0 .
    ==> ( x² - x/2 + (1/4)² ) + y² = (1/4)² .
    ==> ( x - 1/4 )² + ( y - 0 )² = (1/4)² 
    Centre (-¼, 0)    radius(¼)
