COMEDK · Maths · 14. Ellipse

If the area of the auxillary circle of the ellipse \(\frac{x^{2}}{a^{2}}+\frac{y^{2}}{b^{2}}=1(a>b)\) is twice the area of the ellipse, then the eccentricity of the ellipse is

  1. A \(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\)
  2. B \(\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\)
  3. C \(\frac{1}{2}\)
  4. D \(\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Equation of ellipse is \(\frac{x^{2}}{a^{2}}+\frac{y^{2}}{b^{2}}=1\) Then, equation of auxillary circle will be \[ x^{2}+y^{2}=a^{2} \quad(a>b) \] Now, it is given that Area of auxillary circle \(=2 \times\) Area of ellipse…
