MCQ
The equation of the ellipse referred to its axes as the axes of coordinates with latus rectum of length $4$ and distance between foci $4 \sqrt 2$ is-
  • A
    $x^2 + 2y^2 = 24$
  • B
    $2x^2 + y^2 = 24$
  • $x^2 + 2y^2 = 16$
  • D
    $2x^2 + y^2 = 16$

Answer

Correct option: C.
$x^2 + 2y^2 = 16$
c
$2 \mathrm{ae}=4 \sqrt{2}$      .......$(1)$

$\frac{2 b^{2}}{a}=4$      .....$(2)$

$b^{2}=a^{2}\left(1-e^{2}\right)$      .....$(3)$

From $(1),(2)$ and $( 3)$

$a=4, b=2 \sqrt{2}$

So, $a^{2}=16, b^{2}=8$

Equation of ellipse $\frac{x^{2}}{16}+\frac{y^{2}}{8}=1$

$\Rightarrow x^{2}+2 y^{2}=16$
