The focus and corresponding directrix of an ellipse are and x + y - 1 = 0 respectively. If the eccentricity of the ellipse is , then the coordinates of the centre of the ellipse are

Options

- D
Correct answer
B.
Step-by-step solution

Let, the lengths of the semi-major axis and semi-minor axis of the& ellipse are& & respectively, then the distance of the focus \left(3,4\right) is equal to
Distance between the focus and centre
The slope of the axis of the ellipse is
⇒ \left( cos\theta,\theta\right) = \left(\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{2}}, \dfrac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\right)
The points on the axis of the ellipse at a distance \sqrt{2} units from \left(3,4\right)are \left(3\pm \sqrt{2}\left(\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\right),4 \pm \sqrt{2}\left(\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\right)\right)<br />⇒ or \left(4,5\right) because it is far from the directrix as compared to \left(2,3\right).
