Correct Question :-
Find the equation of ellipse whose foci are (0, ±5) and length of whose major axis is 20
Here we have,
Foci of ellipse lie on the y axis (Given)
Hence,
It is a Vertical ellipse
Now,
Assume
Where a² > b²
Assume
c² = (a² - b²)
Foci = (0 , ±c)
Hence,
c = 5
= 10
Now,
c² = (a² - b²)
b² = (a² - c²)
= (100 - 25)
= 75
Hence,
a² = (10)²
= 100
b² = 75
Hence
