Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) 16

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given equation is \(a x^2+b y^2=15\) \[ \frac{x^2}{\left(\sqrt{\frac{15}{a}}\right)^2}+\frac{y^2}{\left(\sqrt{\frac{15}{b}}\right)^2}=1 \] Now, \(a^{\prime}=\sqrt{\frac{15}{a}}, b^{\prime}=\sqrt{\frac{15}{b}}\) According to question,…
