Question

 

The radius of the circle passing through the foci of the ellipse

9x2 + 16y2 = 144 and having its centre at (0, 3), is 

Solution

Correct option is

4

 

We have,  

        

The eccentricity e of the ellipse is given by 

         

So, the coordinates of the foci are 

∴ Radius of the circle
