Q56.If the co-ordinates of two points A and B are (√7, 0) and (−√7, 0) respectively and conic, 9x2 + 16y2 = 144, then PA + PB is equal to : (1) 16 (2) 8 (3) 6 (4) 9

What This Question Tests

This question is a direct application of the definition of an ellipse, where the sum of the distances from any point on the ellipse to its two foci is equal to the length of the major axis (2a).

Concepts Tested

Standard equation of an ellipseFoci of an ellipseDefinition of ellipse as locus of points where sum of distances from foci is constant

Formulas Used

Standard form of ellipse x^2/a^2 + y^2/b^2 = 1

Distance from foci = 2a
