An ellipse has $OB$ as semi-minor axis,$F$ and $F'$ as its foci,and the angle $\angle FBF'$ is a right angle. Then the eccentricity of the ellipse is

  • A
    $\frac{1}{4}$
  • B
    $\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}$
  • C
    $\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$
  • D
    $\frac{1}{2}$

If tangents are drawn from any point on the circle $x^2+y^2=25$ to the ellipse $\frac{x^2}{16}+\frac{y^2}{9}=1$,then the angle between the tangents is

Assertion $(A)$: If the tangent and normal to the ellipse $9x^2 + 16y^2 = 144$ at the point $P(\frac{\pi}{3})$ on it meet the major axis in $Q$ and $R$ respectively,then $QR = \frac{57}{8}$.
Reason $(R)$: If the tangent and normal to the ellipse $\frac{x^2}{a^2} + \frac{y^2}{b^2} = 1$ at the point $P(\theta)$ on it meet the major axis in $Q$ and $R$ respectively,then $QR = \left| \frac{a^2 \sin^2 \theta + b^2 \cos^2 \theta}{a \cos \theta} \right|$.

Chords of an ellipse $\frac{x^2}{a^2} + \frac{y^2}{b^2} = 1$ are drawn through the positive end of the minor axis $(0, b)$. The locus of their midpoints lies on:

Planet $M$ orbits around its sun,$S$,in an elliptical orbit with the sun at one of the foci. When $M$ is closest to $S$,it is $2$ units away. When $M$ is farthest from $S$,it is $18$ units away. Assuming $S$ is at the origin $(0, 0)$ and the other focus lies on the negative $y$-axis,find the equation of the elliptical orbit of planet $M$.

$A$ tangent is drawn to the ellipse $\frac{x^2}{27} + y^2 = 1$ at the point $(3\sqrt{3} \cos \theta, \sin \theta)$ (where $\theta \in (0, \frac{\pi}{2})$). Then,the value of $\theta$ such that the sum of the intercepts on the axes made by this tangent is minimum,is
