An ellipse has its major axis along the $y$-axis and its minor axis along the $x$-axis. If the length of its latus rectum is $\frac{2}{3}$ times the length of its minor axis,then the eccentricity of the ellipse is:

  • A
    $\frac{2}{3}$
  • B
    $\frac{3}{5}$
  • C
    $\frac{\sqrt{5}}{3}$
  • D
    $\frac{\sqrt{2}}{5}$

The tangent to the ellipse $9x^2 + 16y^2 = 288$ making equal intercepts on the co-ordinate axes intersects the $X$-axis and the $Y$-axis in the points $A$ and $B$ respectively. Then $\text{Area}(\triangle OAB) = $ (where $O$ is origin)

The centre of a circle $C$ is at the centre of the ellipse $E : \frac{x^2}{a^2} + \frac{y^2}{b^2} = 1, a > b$. Let $C$ pass through the foci $F_1$ and $F_2$ of $E$ such that the circle $C$ and the ellipse $E$ intersect at four points. Let $P$ be one of these four points. If the area of the triangle $PF_1F_2$ is $30$ and the length of the major axis of $E$ is $17$,then the distance between the foci of $E$ is:

$A$ focus of an ellipse is at the origin. The directrix is the line $x = 4$ and the eccentricity is $\frac{1}{2}$. Then the length of the semi-major axis is
