The equations of two ellipses are be \(\frac{x^2}{4}+\frac{y^2}{2}=1\) and \(\frac{x^2}{36}+\frac{y^2}{b^2}=1\). If the product of their eccentricities is \(\frac{\sqrt{2}}{3}\), then the product of the length of the major axis and minor axis of the second ellipse is \(\qquad\)

  1. A \(12 \sqrt{5}\)
  2. B \(720\)
  3. C \(6 \sqrt{20}\)
  4. D \(48 \sqrt{5}\)

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(48 \sqrt{5}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(e_1 = \sqrt{1 - \frac{2}{4}} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\) \(e_1 e_2 = \frac{\sqrt{2}}{3} \Rightarrow \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} e_2 = \frac{\sqrt{2}}{3} \Rightarrow e_2 = \frac{2}{3}\)
