If the eccentricity of two ellipse x^(2)...

If the eccentricity of two ellipse `x^(2)/(169)+y^(2)/(25)=1 and x^(2)/a^(2)+y^(2)/b^(2)=1` are equal, then the value of a/b is

A

`(5)/(11)`

B

`(6)/(13)`

C

`(13)/(5)`

D

`(13)/(6)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
we have
`sqrt(1-(15)/(169))=sqrt(1-(b^(2))/(a^(2)))`
`implies (144)/(169)=1-(b^(2))/(a^(2))implies (b^(2))/(a^(2))=(25)/(169)implies (b)/(a)=(5)/(13)implies (a)/(b) =(13)/(5)`
