- \(\frac{117}{12}\)
- \(\frac{119}{12}\)
- \(\frac{129}{12}\)
- \(3\frac{15}{12}\)

Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
We are given the number of persons who speak only English as \(\alpha = 60\), and only Hindi as \(\beta = 25\). The eccentricity of the ellipse is given by:
\[
e^2 = 1 - \frac{25 \times 25}{60^2} = \frac{119}{144}
\]
Thus,
\[
e = \frac{\sqrt{119}}{12}
\]
