The eccentricity of the ellipse, if the distance between the foci is equal to the length of the latus-rectum, is:
  1. $\frac{\sqrt{5}-1}{2}$
  2. $\frac{\sqrt{5}+1}{2}$
  3. $\frac{\sqrt{5}-1}{4}$
  4. $\text{none of these}$

The equations of the tangents to the ellipse $9\text{x}^2+16\text{y}^2=144$ from the point (2, 3) are:
  1. y = 3, x = 5
  2. x = 2, y = 3
  3. x = 3, y = 2
  4. x + y = 5, y = 3

The eccentricity of the ellipse $\frac{\text{x}^2}{\text{b}^2}+\frac{\text{y}^2}{\text{y}^2}=1$ if its latus rectum is equal to one half of its minor axis, is:
  1. $\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$
  2. $\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$
  3. $\frac{1}{2}$
  4. $\text{none of these}$

If S and S' are two foci of the ellipse $\frac{\text{x}^2}{\text{b}^2}+\frac{\text{y}^2}{\text{b}^2}=1$ and B is an end of the minor axis such that $\triangle\text{BSS}'$ is equilateral, then write the eccentricity of the ellipse.
