The eccentricity of the ellipse `25x^(2) + 16y^(2) - 150 x - 175 = 0` isA. `(2)/(5)`B. `(2)/(3)`C. `(4)/(5) `D. `(3)/(5)`

Answer» Correct Answer - D
Given equation of ellipse can be rewritten as
`((x-3)^(2))/(16) +(y^(2))/(25) = 1`
The major axis of ellipse is a line parallel to Y-axis , therefore eccentricity of ellipse is given by ` e = sqrt(1-(16)/(25)) = (3)/(5)`
