The difference between the lengths of the major axis and the latus rectum of an ellipse is a.`a e` b. `2a e` c. `a e^2` d. `2a e^2`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Length of the latus rectum `=frac{2 b^{2}}{a}`
and `{e}=sqrt{1-frac{b^{2}}{a^{2}}} `
`a^{2} e^{2}=a^{2}-b^{2}`
`Rightarrow b^{2}=a^{2}-a^{2} e^{2} `
