Let the length of a latus rectum of an ellipse $\frac{x^2}{a^2} + \frac{y^2}{b^2} = 1$ be $10$. If its eccentricity is the minimum value of the function $f(t) = t^2 + t + \frac{11}{12}$,$t \in R$,then $a^2 + b^2$ is equal to:

  • A
    $125$
  • B
    $126$
  • C
    $120$
  • D

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:
