  1. A π6
  2. B π4
  3. C π3
  4. D π2
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) π4

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The given equation of ellipse can be written in the form x262+y222=1. Now let the eccentric angle of the point be θ, then its co-ordinates are 6cosθ,2sinθ. Since the distance of the point from the centre is 2 units ∴ 6cosθ-02+2sinθ-02=4…
