Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) 6

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given, Equation of ellipse is \( 9 x^2+4 y^2=36 \) \(\Rightarrow \quad \frac{x^2}{4}+\frac{y^2}{9}=1\) Here, \(\quad a=2\) and \(b=3\) \(P F_1+P F_2=\) sum of focal distances of \(P\). \(\begin{aligned} & =2 b \\ & =2 \times 3=6\end{aligned}\)
