Let $P$ be any point on the ellipse $\frac{x^2}{a^2} + \frac{y^2}{b^2} = 1$. If $S_1$ and $S_2$ are its foci,then the maximum area of $\Delta PS_1S_2$ is (in square units):

  • A
    $b^2e$
  • B
    $a^2e$
  • C
    $ab$
  • D

Consider an ellipse,whose centre is at the origin and its major axis is along the $x-$ axis. If its eccentricity is $\frac{3}{5}$ and the distance between its foci is $6$,then the area (in sq. units) of the quadrilateral inscribed in the ellipse,with the vertices as the vertices of the ellipse,is

Let $A(\alpha, 0)$ and $B(0, \beta)$ be the points on the line $5x + 7y = 50$. Let the point $P$ divide the line segment $AB$ internally in the ratio $7:3$. Let $3x - 25 = 0$ be a directrix of the ellipse $E: \frac{x^2}{a^2} + \frac{y^2}{b^2} = 1$ and the corresponding focus be $S$. If from $S$,the perpendicular on the $x$-axis passes through $P$,then the length of the latus rectum of $E$ is equal to

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 $M$.
