Question:medium

If the major axis of an ellipse is parallel to the \(X\)-axis and the ratio of the lengths of its latus rectum and minor axis is \(2:3\), then the ratio of distances from its centre to its focus and directrix is

Show Hint

For an ellipse, \[ \boxed{\text{Latus rectum}=\frac{2b^2}{a}} \] and \[ \boxed{\text{Distance from centre to directrix}=\frac{a}{e}.} \] Also, \[ \boxed{\frac{\text{Centre to focus}}{\text{Centre to directrix}}=e^2.} \]
