Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\frac{2}{3}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Equation of ellipse is \(9 x^2+5 y^2-18 x-20 y-16=0\) \(\Rightarrow \quad 9\left(x^2-2 x\right)+5\left(y^2-4 y\right)=16\) \(\Rightarrow 9\left(x^2-2 x+1\right)+5\left(y^2-4 y+4\right)=16+9+20\) \(\Rightarrow \quad 9(x-1)^2+5(y-2)^2=45\)…
