If the latus rectum of an ellipse is equal to half of minor axis, then its eccentricity is
Options
- A3 4
- B3 4
- C1 4
- D3 2
Correct answer
D. 3 2
Step-by-step solution
Let the equation of ellipse be x^2 a^2 + y^2 b^2 =1 Length of Latus rectum = 2 ~b ^2 a and length of minor axis =2 b aligned & 2 ~b ^2 a = b b ^2 a ^2 = 1 4 & e = 1- b ^2 a ^2 = 1- 1 4 = 3 2 aligned
