The sum of the distance of a point from the foci of an ellipse is
Explanation for the correct answer:
The equation of the ellipse can be written in standard form as
where, and
Comparing equation with where
we get and
The eccentricity of the ellipse is given as
Foci of the ellipse are given as
and
or and
Hence, and are the foci of the ellipse.
Distance between and
Distance between and
Hence, the sum of the distance between the foci of the given ellipse and the point is units.
Hence, the option B is the correct option.
