MCQ
For the ellipse $25{x^2} + 9{y^2} - 150x - 90y + 225 = 0$ the eccentricity $e = $
  • A
    $2\over5$
  • B
    $3\over5$
  • $4\over5$
  • D
    $1\over5$

Answer

Correct option: C.
$4\over5$
c
(c) Given equation of ellipse is ,

$25{x^2} + 9{y^2} - 150x - 90y + 225 = 0$

$ \Rightarrow $$25\,{(x - 3)^2} + 9{(y - 5)^2} = 225$

$ \Rightarrow $$\frac{{{{(x - 3)}^2}}}{9} + \frac{{{{(y - 5)}^2}}}{{25}}$ = 1. Here $b > a$

$\therefore $ Eccentricity $e = \sqrt {1 - \frac{{{a^2}}}{{{b^2}}}} = \sqrt {1 - \frac{9}{{25}}} $

$ = \sqrt {\frac{{16}}{{25}}} = \frac{4}{5}$.
