In an ellipse,the distance between its foci is $6$ and the minor axis is $8$. Then its eccentricity is:

  • A
    $\frac{3}{5}$
  • B
    $\frac{1}{2}$
  • C
    $\frac{4}{5}$
  • D
    $\frac{1}{\sqrt{5}}$

Let $A, B,$ and $C$ be three points on the ellipse $\frac{x^2}{25} + \frac{y^2}{16} = 1$. The line joining $A$ and $C$ is parallel to the $x$-axis,and $B$ is the endpoint of the minor axis whose ordinate is positive. Find the maximum area of $\Delta ABC$.

If $B$ is the end point of the minor axis of the ellipse $b^{2} x^{2} + a^{2} y^{2} = a^{2} b^{2}$ $(a > b)$ and $S$ and $S^{\prime}$ are the foci of the ellipse such that $\Delta SBS^{\prime}$ is an equilateral triangle,then the eccentricity $e$ is:
