Answer» Correct Answer - A Given equation of ellipse is `x^(2)/36+y^(2)/16=1` This is an ellipse. `rArr" "x^(2)/((2)^(2))+y^(2)/((3)^(2))=1` `rArr" "a=2" and "b=3` Length of major axis = 2a = 4 Since, we have Sum of the focal distances of a point on ellipse = length of major axis. `:." Required Ans = 4 units.  |
