$A$ wall is inclined to the floor at an angle of $135^{\circ}$. $A$ ladder of length $l$ is resting on the wall. As the ladder slides down,its mid-point traces an arc of an ellipse. Then,the area of the ellipse is

  • A
    $\frac{\pi l^2}{4}$
  • B
    $\pi l^2$
  • C
    $4 \pi l^2$
  • D
    $2 \pi l^2$
