The equation of the ellipse referred to its axes as the axes of coordinates with latus rectum of length $4$ and distance between foci $4 \sqrt 2$ is-
$x^2 + 2y^2 = 24$
$2x^2 + y^2 = 24$
$x^2 + 2y^2 = 16$
$2x^2 + y^2 = 16$
A man running a racecourse notes that the sum of the distances from the two flag posts from him is always $10 \,m$ and the distance between the flag posts is $8\, m$ Find the equation of the posts traced by the man.
The number of $p$ oints which can be expressed in the form $(p_1/q_ 1 , p_2/q_2)$, ($p_i$ and $q_i$ $(i = 1,2)$ are co-primes) and lie on the ellipse $\frac{{{x^2}}}{9} + \frac{{{y^2}}}{4} = 1$ is
In a triangle $A B C$ with fixed base $B C$, the vertex $A$ moves such that $\cos B+\cos C=4 \sin ^2 \frac{A}{2} .$ If $a, b$ and $c$ denote the lengths of the sides of the triangle opposite to the angles $A, B$ and $C$, respectively, then
$(A)$ $b+c=4 a$
$(B)$ $b+c=2 a$
$(C)$ locus of point $A$ is an ellipse
$(D)$ locus of point $A$ is a pair of straight lines
The centre of an ellipse is $C$ and $PN$ is any ordinate and $A$, $A’$ are the end points of major axis, then the value of $\frac{{P{N^2}}}{{AN\;.\;A'N}}$ is
If the length of the major axis of an ellipse is three times the length of its minor axis, then its eccentricity is
