# Possible to find

The eccentricity of the ellipse, which meets the straight line $$\frac{x}{7}+\frac{y}{2} = 1$$on the axis of y and whose axes lie along the axes of coordinates, is

Actually, it must also be specified whether the ellipse also meets said line on the x axis also. Otherwise, there are infinite such ellipses with infinite different eccentricities.

Is the question incomplete ? The answer i have is $$\frac{2\sqrt{6}}{7}$$

Yes it seems so. All the ellipse of form $$\frac {x^2} {a^2}+\frac {y^2} {2^2}=1$$ satisfy given condition.

Can you put a rough daigram please ?

The question itself doesn't have a diagram but i'll try posting it. I think the question is incomplete

Thanks I'am waiting....

there are many possibilities as Raghav told. One possibility which.any one would think that $$a=7$$ and $$b=2$$ and hence eccentricity=$$\frac{3\sqrt{5}}{7}$$ but thats not the answer.

The question is incomplete.One extra condition is required
