Question

The equation of the ellipse whose axes are along the coordinate axes, vertices are (±5, 0) are foci at (±4, 0), is 

Solution

Correct option is

 

Let the equation of the required ellipse be 

         

The coordinates of its vertices and foci are (±a, 0) and (±ae, 0) respectively. 

     

Now, 

      

           = 9. 

Substituting the values of a2 and b2 in (i), we get , which is the equation of the required ellipse.
