The eccentricity of an ellipse centered at the origin is $1/2$. If one of its directrices is $x = 4$,then the equation of the ellipse is:

  • A
    $3x^2 + 4y^2 = 1$
  • B
    $3x^2 + 4y^2 = 12$
  • C
    $4x^2 + 3y^2 = 12$
  • D
    $4x^2 + 3y^2 = 1$

Let each of the two ellipses $E_1: \frac{x^2}{a^2} + \frac{y^2}{b^2} = 1, (a > b)$ and $E_2: \frac{x^2}{A^2} + \frac{y^2}{B^2} = 1, (A < B)$ have eccentricity $\frac{4}{5}$. Let the lengths of the latus recta of $E_1$ and $E_2$ be $\ell_1$ and $\ell_2$, respectively, such that $2\ell_1^2 = 9\ell_2$. If the distance between the foci of $E_1$ is $8$, then the distance between the foci of $E_2$ is:
