Myschool made the error of correcting option D from 12(correct answer) to 3(pseudo answer).

Area of an ellipse is given as 'πab/4, where a and b are the major axis and minor axis

If this is a real JAMB question then I'm worried. So JAMB examiners don't know that the length of an axis in an ellipse can be likened to the diameter of a circle? a and b are like the radius of an ellipse! The answer is definitely 12 and it is not among the options.

Your answer is wrong. The correct answer is NOT 3. The correct answer is 12.
