The distance between the foci of an ellipse is 16 and eccentricity is $\frac{1}{2}$. Length of the major axis of the ellipse is

A

$8$

B

$64$

C

$16$

D

$32$

Solution

(d) Given, distance between the foci $ = 2ae = 16$ and eccentricity of ellipse $(e)$ $ = 1/2$.

We know that length of the major axis of the ellipse $ = 2a = \frac{{2ae}}{e} = \frac{{16}}{{1/2}} = 32.$
