The focus and corresponding directrix of an ellipse are (3,4)\left(3,4\right) and x + y - 1 = 0 respectively. If the eccentricity of the ellipse is 12\dfrac{1}{2}, then the coordinates of the centre of the ellipse areThe focus and corresponding directrix of an ellipse are (3,4) and x + y - 1 = 0 respectively. If the eccentricity of

Options

  1. A(2,3)\left(2,3\right)
  2. B(4,5)\left(4,5\right)
  3. C(8,9)\left(8,9\right)
  4. D(1,2)\left(1,2\right)

Correct answer

B. (4,5)\left(4,5\right)

Step-by-step solution

The focus and corresponding directrix of an ellipse are (3,4) and x + y - 1 = 0 respectively. If the eccentricity of
Let, the lengths of the semi-major axis and semi-minor axis of the& ellipse are& aa & bb respectively, then the distance of the focus \left(3,4\right)fromthecorrespondingdirectrix(x+y−1=0)from the corresponding directrix \left(x + y - 1 = 0\right) is equal to ae−ae\dfrac{a}{e} - ae
⇒a12−a(12)=∣3+4−12∣=32⇒ \dfrac{a}{\dfrac{1}{2}} - a\left(\dfrac{1}{2}\right) = \left|\dfrac{3 + 4 - 1}{\sqrt{2}}\right| = 3\sqrt{2}
⇒3a2=32⇒a=22⇒ \dfrac{3a}{2} = 3\sqrt{2} ⇒ a = 2\sqrt{2}
Distance between the focus and centre =ae=2= ae = \sqrt{2}
The slope of the axis of the ellipse is 1=tanθ1 = tan \theta
⇒ \left( cos\theta,sinsin\theta\right) = \left(\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{2}}, \dfrac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\right)or(−12,−12)or \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 />⇒Pointsare(2,3)Points are \left(2,3\right) or \left(4,5\right),butthecentreis(4,5), but the centre is \left(4,5\right) because it is far from the directrix as compared to \left(2,3\right).
