Questions  

 The eccentric angle of a point on the ellipse x24+y23=1 at a distance of 5/4 units from the focus on the positive x- axis is

a
cos−1⁡(3/4)
b
π−cos−1⁡(3/4)
c
π+cos−1⁡(3/4)
d
None of these

detailed solution

Correct option is A

Any point on the ellipse is (2cos⁡θ,3sin⁡θ) .  The focus on the positive x -axis is (1,0) . (2cos⁡θ−1)2+3sin2⁡θ=2516or   cos⁡θ=34
