The equation of the ellipse whose centre is at origin, major axis is along x-axis with eccentricity, 34 and latus rectum 4 units is :

  • x21024 + 7y264 = 1

  • 49x21024 + 7y264 = 1

  • 7x21024 + 49y264 = 1

  • x21024 + y264 = 1


B.

49x21024 + 7y264 = 1

     b2 = 2a, c2 = 916a2We know, a2 = b2 +c2So, a2 = 2a + 916a2   a = 327, b2 = 647Equation of ellipse,                x2a2 + y2b2 = 1Putting values of a and b, 49x21024 + 7y264 = 1

The equation of the circle which passes through the points (1, 0), (0, - 6) and (3, 4) is :

  • 4x2 + 4y2 + 142x + 47y + 140 = 0

  • 4x2 +4y2 - 142x - 47y + 138 = 0

  • 4x2 +4y2 - 142x + 47y + 138 = 0

  • 4x2 +4y2 + 150x - 49y + 138 = 0
