If the latusrectum of an ellipse is ...

If the latusrectum of an ellipse is equal to one half of its minor axis , then eccentricity is equal to

A

`(1)/(sqrt(2))`

B

`(sqrt(3))/(2)`

C

`(1)/(2)`

D

none of these

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
we have ,`(2b^(2))/(a)=bimplies 2b=a`
` therefore e=sqrt(1-(b^(2))/(a^(2)))=sqrt(1-(b^(2))/(4b^(2)))=(sqrt(3))/(2)`
