Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(4\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Equation of ellipse, \(\frac{x^2}{16}+\frac{y^2}{9}=1\) \(a^2=16 \Rightarrow a=4, b^2=9 \Rightarrow b=3\) Here, \(a>b\) Now, \(e=\sqrt{1-\frac{b^2}{a^2}}=\sqrt{1-\frac{9}{16}}=\frac{\sqrt{7}}{4}\) \(\therefore \quad \text { Focus }=( \pm a e, 0)= \pm \sqrt{7}, 0\) Since, the…
