  • A
    \(\frac{(x-1)^2}{25}+\frac{(y-2)^2}{16}=1\)
  • B
    \(\frac{(x-1)^2}{25}+\frac{(y-2)^2}{20}=1\)

    \(\frac{(x-1)^2}{45}+\frac{(y-1)^2}{16}=1\)
  • Correct answer
    D
    \(\frac{(x-1)^2}{45}+\frac{(y-2)^2}{20}=1\)

Solution

Given, Focus \(\mathrm{S}=(6,2)\) Centre \(\mathrm{C}=(1,2)=(h, k)\) say Point \(\mathrm{P}=(4,6)\) Required Equation of ellipse is \(\frac{(x-1)^2}{a^2}+\frac{(y-2)^2}{b^2}=1\) ...(i) Since, Eq. (i) passes through \(\mathrm{P}(4,6)\) \(\begin{aligned} \frac{(4-1)^2}{a^2}+\frac{(6-2)^2}{b^2} & =1 \\ \frac{9}{a^2}+\frac{16}{b^2} & =1 \quad \ldots (ii) \end{aligned}\) Since, Focus \(=(6,2)\) \(\begin{aligned} (h+a e, k) & =(6,2) \\ \therefore \quad h+a e & =6, \\ k & =2 \\ 1+a e & =6 \\ a e & =5 \\ a^2 e^2 & =25 \\ b^2 & =a^2\left(1-e^2\right) \\ b^2 & =a^2-a^2 e^2 \\ b^2 & =a^2-25 \\ a^2 & =b^2+25 \quad \ldots (iii) \end{aligned}\) Put \(a^2\) value in Eq. (ii), \(\begin{aligned} \frac{9}{b^2+25}+\frac{16}{b^2} & =1 \\ 9 b^2+16\left(b^2+25\right) & =b^2\left(b^2+25\right) \\ 9 b^2+16 b^2+400 & =b^4+25 b^2 \end{aligned}\) \(\begin{aligned} b^4 & =400 \\ b^2 & =20 \end{aligned}\) From Eq. (iii), \(\begin{aligned} & a^2=20+25 \\ & a^2=45 \end{aligned}\) Put \(a^2, b^2\) Value in Eq. (i), \(\frac{(x-1)^2}{45}+\frac{(y-2)^2}{20}=1\) \([\therefore\) Answer written in the paper was wrong in RHS it should be 1] Hence, option (d) is correct.

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'D'.
