Solution
The correct option is
A
3
5
Given,
(
−
4
,
1
)
and
(
6
,
1
)
are vertices of an ellipse.
⇒
Major axis of ellipse is
y
=
1
Centre of ellipse is
(
1
,
1
)
Foci are
x
=
2
+
2
y
=
2
+
2
=
4
∴
Focus is
(
4
,
1
)
∵
Focus lies on major axis.
∴
a
e
=
Distance b/w focus and centre
=
3
a
=

=
5
⇒
e
=
