If the focal distance of an end of the minor axis of any ellipse (its axes as x and y axis respectively) is k and the distance between the foci is 2h, then its equation is-
A
= 1
B
= 1
C
= 1
D
= 1
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
B
Area of the rectangle = p 1 p 2 = 
Let equation of ellipse is 
= 1 and e is eccentricity of ellipse.
Therefore 2h = 2ae
ae = h. .... (1)
Focal distance of one end of minor axis say (0, b) is k,
Therefore a + e (0) = k
a = k .... (2)
Therefore by (1) and (2)
b 2 = a 2 (1 – e 2 )
b 2 = a 2 – a 2 e 2 = k 2 – h 2
Therefore equation of ellipse 
= 1.
