Solution
The correct option is C(√2,2) Foci are (0,2) and (0,–2)
So, major axis is along the y-axis.
Let the equation of ellipse be x2a2+y2b2=1(b>a)
Given, 2a=4 and 2be=4 ⇒a=2,be=2 ⇒b2e2=4⇒b2−a2=4⇒b2=8
Therefore, equation of the ellipse is x24+y28=1
By putting all the points, we get that (√2,2) lies on the ellipse.
