The equation of an ellipse in its standard form, given the distance between its foci is 2 units and the length of its latusrectum is \(\frac{15}{2}\) units, is

  1. A \(15 x^2+4 y^2=15\)
  2. B \(4 x^2+15 y^2=60\)
  3. C \(15 x^2+16 y^2=240\)
  4. D \(16 x^2+15 y^2=40\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(15 x^2+16 y^2=240\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Standard form of ellipse, \(\frac{x^2}{a^2}+\frac{y^2}{b^2}=1\) a > b \(\because\) Distance between foci \(=2 a e\) 2 = 2ae \(\Rightarrow \quad a e=1\)...(ii)…
