If \(\mathrm{B}\) and \(\mathrm{B}^{\prime}\) are the ends of minor axis and \(\mathrm{S}\) and \(\mathrm{S}^{\prime}\) are the foci of the ellipse \(\frac{x^{2}}{25}+\frac{y^{2}}{9}=1\), then the area of the rhombus
\(\mathrm{SBS}^{\prime} \mathrm{B}^{\prime}\) will be

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) 24 sq. unit

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Hint: \(\mathrm{B}=(0,3), \mathrm{B}^{\prime}=(0,-3)\) \(\mathrm{S} \equiv(\mathrm{ae}, 0) \equiv\left(5 \times \sqrt{1-\frac{9}{25}}, 0\right) \equiv(4,0) \quad \therefore\) area \(\mathrm{SBS}^{\prime} \mathrm{B}^{\prime}=2 \times\) area…
