Eccentricity of the conic $16{x^2} + 7{y^2} = 112$ is
$3\over \sqrt 7 $
$7\over{16}$
$3\over4$
$4\over3$
An ellipse inscribed in a semi-circle touches the circular arc at two distinct points and also touches the bounding diameter. Its major axis is parallel to the bounding diameter. When the ellipse has the maximum possible area, its eccentricity is
A man running round a race-course notes that the sum of the distance of two flag-posts from him is always $10\ metres$ and the distance between the flag-posts is $8\ metres$. The area of the path he encloses in square metres is
If any tangent to the ellipse $\frac{{{x^2}}}{{{a^2}}} + \frac{{{y^2}}}{{{b^2}}} = 1$ cuts off intercepts of length $h$ and $k$ on the axes, then $\frac{{{a^2}}}{{{h^2}}} + \frac{{{b^2}}}{{{k^2}}} = $
The centre of the ellipse$\frac{{{{(x + y - 2)}^2}}}{9} + \frac{{{{(x - y)}^2}}}{{16}} = 1$ is
If $P_1$ and $P_2$ are two points on the ellipse $\frac{{{x^2}}}{4} + {y^2} = 1$ at which the tangents are parallel to the chord joining the points $(0, 1)$ and $(2, 0)$, then the distance between $P_1$ and $P_2$ is
