 Let S and S be two foci of the ellipse x2a2+y2b2=1 . If a  circle described on SS as diameter intersects the ellipse 

at real and distinct points, then the eccentricity e of the ellipse satisfies

a
e=1/2
b
e∈(1/2,1)
c
e∈(0,1/2)
d
None of these

detailed solution

Correct option is B

The radius of the circle having SS'as diameter is r: ae. If it cuts an ellipse, thenr>b or     ae>b or     e2>b2a2 or     e2>1−e2 or     e2>12 or  e>12 or  e∈12,1
