If `alphaa n dbeta` are the eccentric angles of the extremities of a focal chord of an ellipse, then prove that the eccentricity of the ellipse is `(sinalpha+sinbeta)/("sin"(alphabeta+))`

A

`(cos alpha+ cos beta)/(cos (alpha+beta))`

B

`(cos alpha- sin beta)/(sin (alpha-beta))`

C

`(cos alpha- cos beta)/(cos (alpha-beta))`

D
