Solution
The correct option is
C
1
2
The equation of conic,
⇒
3
x
2
+
4
y
2
=
24
⇒
3
x
2
24
+
4
y
2
24
=
1
[ Dividing both sides by
24
]
⇒
x
2
8
+
y
2
6
=
1
Comparing above equation with
x
2
a
2
+
y
2
b
2
=
1
,
we get:
⇒
a
2
=
8
and
b
2
=
6
We know,
b
2
=
a
2
(
1
−
e
2
)
⇒
6
=
8
(
1
−
e
2
)
⇒
1
−
e
2
=
6
8
⇒
1
−
e
2
=
2
4
⇒
e
2
=
1
−
3
4
⇒
e
2
=
4
−
3
4
⇒
e
2
=
1
4
∴
e
=
1
2
∴
The required eccentricity is
1
2
.
