If $\alpha $ and $\beta $ are the eccentric angles of the extremities of a focal chord of an ellipse, then the eccentricity of the ellipse is

  • A

    $\frac{{\cos \,\alpha \, + \,\cos \,\beta }}{{\cos \,\left( {\alpha \, - \,\beta } \right)}}$

  • B

    $\frac{{\sin \,\alpha \, - \,\sin \,\beta }}{{\sin \,\left( {\alpha \, - \,\beta } \right)}}$

  • C

    $\frac{{\cos \,\alpha \, - \,\cos \,\beta }}{{\cos \,\left( {\alpha \, - \,\beta } \right)}}$

  • D

    $\frac{{\sin \,\alpha \, + \,\sin \,\beta }}{{\sin \,\left( {\alpha \, + \,\beta } \right)}}$
