  1. Question 1

    Q1. The equation of the ellipse with major axis 6 and minor axis 4 is

    • A) x² / 9 + y² / 4 = 1
    • B) x² / 4 + y² / 9 = 1
    • C) x² / 9 + y² / 4 = 1 or x² / 4 + y² / 9 = 1
    • D) None of these

    Answer: x² / 9 + y² / 4 = 1 or x² / 4 + y² / 9 = 1

    Explanation: The standard equation of an ellipse is x² / a² + y² / b² = 1, where a = 3 and b = 2 (or vice versa).
