What is the length of the major axis of the ellipse given by the equation (x+2)²/25 + (y-1)²/9 = 1?

A 10
B 5
C 6
D 3

✓ Correct Answer: Option A

In the standard form (x-h)²/a² + (y-k)²/b² = 1, 'a' corresponds to the major radius. Here, the larger denominator is 25, so a² = 25, which means a = 5. The length of the major axis is 2a, so 2 * 5 = 10.
