For an ellipse with eccentricity \(\frac{1}{2}\), the centre is at the origin. If one of its directrices is \(x=4\), then the equation of the ellipse is

  1. A \(3 x^2+4 y^2=12\)
  2. B \(3 x^2+4 y^2=49\)
  3. C \(3 x^2+4 y^2=1\)
  4. D \(4 x^2+3 y^2=12\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(3 x^2+4 y^2=12\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( \text { Given, } e=\frac{1}{2} \text { centre }(0,0) \text { and directrix }=4 \) \(\therefore\) Equation of ellipse \(=\frac{x^2}{a^2}+\frac{y^2}{a^2\left(1-e^2\right)}=1\)…
