The portion of the area enclosed by the ellipse x2a2+y2b2=1\frac{x^2}{a^2} + \frac{y^2}{b^2} = 1, that lies in the first quadrant is

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 3

Total area of ellipse =πab= \pi a b. By symmetry, the ellipse is divided into four equal regions by the coordinate axes. Therefore the area in the first quadrant =πab4= \frac{\pi a b}{4}.
