The length of the minor axis (along \(y-\)axis) of an ellipse in the standard form is \(\frac{4}{\sqrt{3}} .\) If this ellipse touches the line, \(x+6 y=8 ;\) then its eccentricity is

  1. A \(\sqrt{\frac{5}{6}}\)
  2. B \(\frac{1}{2} \sqrt{\frac{11}{3}}\)
  3. C \(\frac{1}{3} \sqrt{\frac{11}{3}}\)
  4. D \(\frac{1}{2} \sqrt{\frac{5}{3}}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\frac{1}{2} \sqrt{\frac{11}{3}}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Let \(\frac{\mathrm{x}^{2}}{\mathrm{a}^{2}}+\frac{\mathrm{y}^{2}}{\mathrm{b}^{2}}=1 ; \mathrm{a}>\mathrm{b}\) \(2 b=\frac{4}{\sqrt{3}} \Rightarrow b=\frac{2}{\sqrt{3}} \Rightarrow b^{2}=\frac{4}{3}\) tangent \(\mathrm{y}=\frac{-\mathrm{x}}{6}+\frac{4}{3}\) compare with…
