If eccentricity of the ellipse x 2 a 2 + 1 + y 2 a 2 + 2 = 1 is 1 6 , then the ratio of the length of the latus rectum to the length of the major axis is

Options

  1. A5 6
  2. B3 6
  3. C2 3
  4. D2 6

Correct answer

A. 5 6

Step-by-step solution

a 2 + 2 > a 2 + 1 a 2 + 1 = a 2 + 2 1 - e 2 ⇒ a 2 = 4 ⇒ a = ± 2 Hence, the required ratio is a 2 + 1 a 2 + 2 = 5 6
