If the latus rectum of an ellipse is equal to the half of minor axis, then find its eccentricity.A. `1/2`B. `sqrt3/2`C. `3/4`D. `sqrt(15)/4`

Answer» Correct Answer - B
Length of latus rectum of an ellipse is `(2b^(2))/a` whereb is semi minor axis. As given , `(2b^(2))/a=b`
`rArr" "2b=arArrb/a=1/2`
`"We know that occentricitye "=sqrt(1-b^(2)/a^(2))=sqrt(1-1/4)=sqrt3/2`
