If normal at any poin P on the ellipse `(x^(2))/(a^(2))+(y^(2))/(b^(2))=1 (agtbgt0)` meets the major and minor axes at Q and R, respectively, so that 3PQ=2PR, then find the eccentricity of ellipse |

Answer» Correct Answer - `(1)/(sqrt(3))` Normal at point P meets the major axis minor axes at Q and R, respectively. `:. (PQ)/(PR)=(b^(2))/(a^(2))` Given `(PQ)/(PR)=(2)/(3)` `:. (b^(2))/(a^(2))=(2)/(3)` `:. E^(2)=1-(b^(2))/(a^(2))=1-(2)/(3)=(1)/(3)` `rArre=(1)/(sqrt(3))` |
