Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\frac{\pi}{3}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given equation of ellipse is \[ \begin{array}{l} \quad 3 x^{2}+4 y^{2}=48 \\ \Rightarrow \quad \frac{3 x^{2}}{48}+\frac{4 y^{2}}{48}=1 \quad \Rightarrow \quad \frac{x^{2}}{16}+\frac{y^{2}}{12}=1 \\ \text { Here, } \quad a=4 \text { and } b=2 \sqrt{3} \end{array} \]…
