Question

S and T are the foci of an ellipse and B is end point of the minor axis. If STB is an equilateral triangle, the eccentricity of the ellipse is (A) 1 4 (B) 1 3 (C) 1 2 (D) 2 3

Arun · Answer

STB is equilateral Triangle. tan 60° = (OB/OS) = [b/{(1/2)2ae}] --- as d(foci) = 2ae ∴ √3 = (b/ae) ⇒ √(3)e = (b/a) Now e2 = 1 – (b2/a2) = 1 – 3e2 ∴ 4e2 = 1 i.e. e = ± (1/2) ⇒ e = (1/2) as 0
