The eccentricity of the ellipse

A

`2/5`

B

`2/3`

C

`4/5`

D

`3/5`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
Given equation of ellipse can be rewritten as `(x-3)^(2)/16+(y2)/25=1`the major axis of ellipse is a liner parallel to y-axis, therefore eccentricity of ellipse is given by `=sqrt(1-(16)/(25)=(3)/(5)`
