The correct answer is: 4,2

Given,

Equation of ellipse x24+y29=1,

So we can see b>a so it is vertical ellipse,

Hence eccentricity is given by a2=b21-e2,

4=91-e2

e=53

Now focus is given by 0,±be0,±5

Now assuming S0,5 & S'0,-5 and point P45,35,

Now focal distance will be PS & PS',

Now using distance formula we get, PS=45-02+35-5=4=2

And similarly PS'=4
