An ellipse has its major axis along the $y$-axis and its minor axis along the $x$-axis. If the length of its latus rectum is $\frac{2}{3}$ times the length of its minor axis,then the eccentricity of the ellipse is:

  • A
    $\frac{2}{3}$
  • B
    $\frac{3}{5}$
  • C
    $\frac{\sqrt{5}}{3}$
  • D
    $\frac{\sqrt{2}}{5}$

In an ellipse,the distance between its foci is $6$ and the length of the major axis is $8$. Find its eccentricity.

Consider ellipses $E_{k}: kx^{2} + k^{2}y^{2} = 1$,for $k = 1, 2, \ldots, 20$. Let $C_{k}$ be the circle which touches the four chords joining the end points (one on the minor axis and another on the major axis) of the ellipse $E_{k}$. If $r_{k}$ is the radius of the circle $C_{k}$,then the value of $\sum_{k=1}^{20} \frac{1}{r_{k}^{2}}$ is $.......$.

Let $T_1$ be the tangent drawn at a point $P(\sqrt{2}, \sqrt{3})$ on the ellipse $\frac{x^2}{4}+\frac{y^2}{6}=1$. If $(\alpha, \beta)$ is the point where $T_1$ intersects another tangent $T_2$ to the ellipse perpendicularly,then $\alpha^2+\beta^2=$

The tangent at point $(a \cos \theta, b \sin \theta)$,where $0 < \theta < \frac{\pi}{2}$,to the ellipse $\frac{x^2}{a^2} + \frac{y^2}{b^2} = 1$ meets the $x$-axis at $T$ and the $y$-axis at $T_1$. Then the value of $\min_{0 < \theta < \frac{\pi}{2}} (OT)(OT_1)$ is
