[Solved] While cutting, if the plane is at an angle and it cuts all the generators, then the conic formed is called as

Q.	While cutting, if the plane is at an angle and it cuts all the generators, then the conic formed is called as
A.	circle
B.	ellipse
C.	parabola
D.	hyperbola
Answer» B. ellipse
Explanation: if the plane cuts all the generators and is at an angle to the axis of the cone, then the resulting conic section is called as an ellipse. if the cutting angle was right angle and the plane cuts all the generators then the conic formed would be circle.
