An ellipse is described by using an endless string which is passed over two pins. If the axes are $6 \ cm$ and $4 \ cm$,the necessary length of the string and the distance between the pins respectively in $cm$,are

  • A
    $6, 2\sqrt{5}$
  • B
    $6, \sqrt{5}$
  • C
    $4, 2\sqrt{5}$
  • D
    $6 + 2\sqrt{5}, 2\sqrt{5}$

Let each of the two ellipses $E_1: \frac{x^2}{a^2} + \frac{y^2}{b^2} = 1, (a > b)$ and $E_2: \frac{x^2}{A^2} + \frac{y^2}{B^2} = 1, (A < B)$ have eccentricity $\frac{4}{5}$. Let the lengths of the latus recta of $E_1$ and $E_2$ be $\ell_1$ and $\ell_2$,respectively,such that $2\ell_1^2 = 9\ell_2$. If the distance between the foci of $E_1$ is $8$,then the distance between the foci of $E_2$ is:

In an ellipse,two vertices are $(5,0)$ and $(0,-4)$. Then the equation of the ellipse is
