Question

The focus of an ellipse is (–1, –1) and the corresponding directix is x – y + 3 = 0. If the eccentricity of the ellipse is 1/2, then the coordinates of the centre of the ellipse are 

Solution

Correct option is

 

The equation of the axis of the ellipse is   

     

Solving this equation with x – y + 3 = 0, we obtain that the coordinates of z are    

Since A and A’ divide SZ internally and externally respectively in the ration e : 1 i.e. 1 : 2. So, their coordinates are    

        

As C is the mid point of AA’. So, its coordinates are  

        .
