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

Let \(E_{1}: \frac{x^{2}}{a^{2}}+\frac{y^{2}}{b^{2}}=1, \mathrm{a}\,>\,\mathrm{b} .\) Let \(\mathrm{E}_{2}\) be another ellipse such that it touches the end points of major axis of \(E_{1}\) and the foci \(E_{2}\) are the end points of minor axis of \(E_{1}\). If \(E_{1}\) and \(E_{2}\) have same eccentricities, then its value is :

  1. A \(\frac{-1+\sqrt{3}}{2}\)
  2. B \(\frac{-1+\sqrt{6}}{2}\)
  3. C \(\frac{-1+\sqrt{5}}{2}\)
  4. D \(\frac{-1+\sqrt{8}}{2}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\frac{-1+\sqrt{5}}{2}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\mathrm{e}^{2}=1-\frac{\mathrm{b}^{2}}{\mathrm{a}^{2}} ....(1)\) \(\mathrm{e}^{2}=1-\frac{\mathrm{a}^{2}}{\mathrm{c}^{2}} ....(2)\) \(\Rightarrow \frac{\mathrm{b}^{2}}{\mathrm{a}^{2}}=\frac{\mathrm{a}^{2}}{\mathrm{c}^{2}}\)…
