Question:
An ellipse, with foci at $(0,2)$ and $(0,-2)$ and minor axis of length 4, passes through which of the following points ?
Correct Option: 1
Solution:
Let the equation of ellipse :
$\frac{x^{2}}{a^{2}}+\frac{y^{2}}{b^{2}}=1$
Given that length of minor axis is 4 i.e. $a=4$. Also given be $=2$
$\because a^{2}=b^{2}\left(1-e^{2}\right) \Rightarrow 4=b^{2}-4 \Rightarrow b=2 \sqrt{2}$
Hence, equation of ellipse will be $\frac{x^{2}}{4}+\frac{y^{2}}{8}=1$
$\because(\sqrt{2}, 2)$ satisfies this equation.
$\therefore$ ellipse passes through $(\sqrt{2}, 2)$.
