If the latusrectum of anellipse is equal to half of minor axis, find its eccentricity.A. `1//4`B. `1//2`C. `sqrt3//5`D. `sqrt3//2`

Answer» Correct Answer - D
Since, Latusrectum of an ellipse `=(2b^(2))/a`
and minor axis =2b
`:." "b=(2b^(2))/arArra=2b`
`"Also, "e=sqrt(1-b^(2)/a^(2))=sqrt(1-b^(2)/(4b^(2)))=sqrt(3/4)=sqrt3/2`
