Answer with explanation:

Equation of ellipse in two forms

  [tex]\frac{x^2}{a^2}+\frac{y^2}{b^2}=1[/tex]

So, there are two cases.

1. When , a > b

Major Axis = X axis

Minor Axis =Y axis

Focus , lies on the Major Axis that is on X axis.

2. When, a < b

Major Axis = Y axis

Minor Axis = X axis

Focus lies on the Major axis, which is Y axis.

So, In both the cases ,the Focus lies on Major Axis.
