Q19 of 76 Page 26

The equation represents an ellipse, if

Given equation is

⇒

Comparing with standard equation we get

⇒ λ - 2>0

⇒ λ>2 .... - (1)

⇒ 5 - λ>0

⇒ λ<5 .... - (2)

From (1) and (2),

⇒ 2<λ<5

∴ The correct option is C

The sum of the focal distances of any point on the ellipse 9x² + 16y² = 144 is

If (2, 4) and (10, 10) are the ends of a latus - rectum of an ellipse with eccentricity 1/2, then the length of semi - major axis is

The eccentricity of the ellipse 9x² + 25y² – 18x – 100y – 116 = 0, is

If the major axis of an ellipse is three times the minor axis, then its eccentricity is equal to
