JEE Mains · Maths · STD 11 - 10.2 parabola,ellipse,hyperbola
If the length of the latus rectum of an ellipse is \(4\,units\) and the distance between a focus and its nearest vertex on the major axis is \(\frac {3}{2}\,units\) , then its eccentricity is?
- A \(\frac {1}{2}\)
- B \(\frac {2}{3}\)
- C \(\frac {1}{9}\)
- D \(\frac {1}{3}\)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D) \(\frac {1}{3}\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Let for ellipse coordinates of focus and vertex are \((ae,0)\) and \((a,0)\) respectively. \(\therefore \) Distance between focus and vertex \( = a\left( {1 - e} \right) = \frac{3}{2}\) (given) \( \Rightarrow a - \frac{3}{2} = ae\)…
