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

If the ellipse \(\frac{ x ^{2}}{ a ^{2}}+\frac{ y ^{2}}{ b ^{2}}=1\) meets the line \(\frac{x}{7}+\frac{y}{2 \sqrt{6}}=1\) on the \(x\)-axis and the line \(\frac{x}{7}-\frac{y}{2 \sqrt{6}}=1\) on the \(y\)-axis, then the eccentricity of the ellipse is

  1. A \(\frac{5}{7}\)
  2. B \(\frac{2 \sqrt{6}}{7}\)
  3. C \(\frac{3}{7}\)
  4. D \(\frac{2 \sqrt{5}}{7}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\frac{5}{7}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\frac{x^{2}}{a^{2}}+\frac{y^{2}}{b^{2}}=1\) meets the line \(\frac{x}{7}+\frac{y}{2 \sqrt{6}}=1\) on the \(x\)-axis So, \(a=7\) and \(\frac{x^{2}}{a^{2}}+\frac{y^{2}}{b^{2}}=1\) meets the line \(\frac{x}{7}-\frac{y}{2 \sqrt{6}}=1\) on the \(y\)-axis So, \(b=2 \sqrt{6}\)…
