JEE Mains · Maths · STD 11 - 10.2 parabola,ellipse,hyperbola

Consider an elIipse, whose centre is at the origin and its major axis is along the \(x-\) axis. If its eccentricity is \(\frac{3}{5}\) and the distance between its foci is \(6\), then the area (in sq. units) of the quadrilateral inscribed in the ellipse, with the vertices as the vertices of the ellipse, is

  1. A \(8\)
  2. B \(32\)
  3. C \(80\)
  4. D \(40\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(40\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(e = 3/5\,\, \&\,\, 2ae = 6 \Rightarrow a = 5\) \(\because \) \({b^2} = {a^2}\left( {1 - {e^2}} \right)\) \( \Rightarrow {b^2} = 25\left( {1 - 9/25} \right)\) \( \Rightarrow b = 4\) \(\therefore \) area of required quadrilateral \( = 4\left( {1/2ab} \right)\) \( = 2ab = 40\)
