The normal to the hyperbola x2a2y29=1{{{x^2}} \over {{a^2}}} - {{{y^2}} \over 9} = 1 at the point (8,33)\left( {8,3\sqrt 3 } \right) on it passes through the point :
A (15,23)\left( {15, - 2\sqrt 3 } \right)
B (9,23)\left( {9,2\sqrt 3 } \right)
C (1,93)\left( { - 1,9\sqrt 3 } \right)
D (1,63)\left( { - 1,6\sqrt 3 } \right)
Correct Answer
Option C
Solution

Given hyperbola :

x2a2y29=1{{{x^2}} \over {{a^2}}} - {{{y^2}} \over 9} = 1

\because It passes through

(8,33)(8,3\sqrt 3 )

\because

64a2279=1a2=16{{64} \over {{a^2}}} - {{27} \over 9} = 1 \Rightarrow {a^2} = 16

Now, equation of normal to hyperbola

16x8+9y33=16+9{{16x} \over 8} + {{9y} \over {3\sqrt 3 }} = 16 + 9
2x+3y=25\Rightarrow 2x + \sqrt 3 y = 25

...... (i)

(1,93)\left( { - 1,9\sqrt 3 } \right)

satisfies (i)

Q32
Let the foci of the ellipse x216+y27=1\dfrac{x^{2}}{16}+\dfrac{y^{2}}{7}=1 and the hyperbola x2144y2α=125\dfrac{x^{2}}{144}-\dfrac{y^{2}}{\alpha}=\dfrac{1}{25} coincide. Then the length of the latus rectum of the hyperbola is :
A 329\dfrac{32}{9}
B 185\dfrac{18}{5}
C 274\dfrac{27}{4}
D 2710\dfrac{27}{10}
Correct Answer
Option D
Solution

Ellipse :

x216+y27=1{{{x^2}} \over {16}} + {{{y^2}} \over 7} = 1

Eccentricity

=1716=34= \sqrt {1 - {7 \over {16}}} = {3 \over 4}

Foci

(±ae,0)(±3,0)\equiv ( \pm \,a\,e,0) \equiv ( \pm \,3,0)

Hyperbola :

x2(14425)y2(α25)=1{{{x^2}} \over {\left( {{{144} \over {25}}} \right)}} - {{{y^2}} \over {\left( {{\alpha \over {25}}} \right)}} = 1

Eccentricity

=1+α144=112144+α= \sqrt {1 + {\alpha \over {144}}} = {1 \over {12}}\sqrt {144 + \alpha }

Foci

(±ae,0)(±125.112144+α,0)\equiv ( \pm \,a\,e,0) \equiv \left( { \pm \,{{12} \over 5}\,.\,{1 \over {12}}\sqrt {144 + \alpha } ,\,0} \right)

If foci coincide then

3=15144+αα=813 = {1 \over 5}\sqrt {144 + \alpha } \Rightarrow \alpha = 81

Hence, hyperbola is

x2(125)2y2(95)2=1{{{x^2}} \over {{{\left( {{{12} \over 5}} \right)}^2}}} - {{{y^2}} \over {{{\left( {{9 \over 5}} \right)}^2}}} = 1

Length of latus rectum

=2.8125125=2710= 2\,.\,{{{{81} \over {25}}} \over {{{12} \over 5}}} = {{27} \over {10}}
Q33
If the line x1=0x-1=0 is a directrix of the hyperbola kx2y2=6k x^{2}-y^{2}=6, then the hyperbola passes through the point :
A (25,6)(-2 \sqrt{5}, 6)
B (5,3)(-\sqrt{5}, 3)
C (5,2)(\sqrt{5},-2)
D (25,36)(2 \sqrt{5}, 3 \sqrt{6})
Correct Answer
Option C
Solution

Given hyperbola :

x26/ky26=1{{{x^2}} \over {6/k}} - {{{y^2}} \over 6} = 1

Eccentricity

=e=1+66/k=1+k= e = \sqrt {1 + {6 \over {6/k}}} = \sqrt {1 + k}

Directrices :

x=±aex=±6kk+1x = \, \pm \,{a \over e} \Rightarrow x = \, \pm \,{{\sqrt 6 } \over {\sqrt k \sqrt {k + 1} }}

As given :

6kk+1=1{{\sqrt 6 } \over {\sqrt k \sqrt {k + 1} }} = 1
k=2\Rightarrow k = 2

Here hyperbola is

x23y26=1{{{x^2}} \over 3} - {{{y^2}} \over 6} = 1

Checking the option gives

(5,2)\left( {\sqrt 5 , - 2} \right)

satisfies it.

Q34
Let the hyperbola H:x2a2y2b2=1H: \dfrac{x^{2}}{a^{2}}-\dfrac{y^{2}}{b^{2}}=1 pass through the point (22,22)(2 \sqrt{2},-2 \sqrt{2}). A parabola is drawn whose focus is same as the focus of H\mathrm{H} with positive abscissa and the directrix of the parabola passes through the other focus of H\mathrm{H}. If the length of the latus rectum of the parabola is e times the length of the latus rectum of H\mathrm{H}, where e is the eccentricity of H, then which of the following points lies on the parabola?
A (23,32)(2 \sqrt{3}, 3 \sqrt{2})
B (33,62)\mathbf(3 \sqrt{3},-6 \sqrt{2})
C (3,6)(\sqrt{3},-\sqrt{6})
D (36,62)(3 \sqrt{6}, 6 \sqrt{2})
Correct Answer
Option B
Solution
H:x2a2y2b2=1H:{{{x^2}} \over {{a^2}}} - {{{y^2}} \over {{b^2}}} = 1

Focus of parabola :

(ae,0)(ae,\,0)

Directrix :

x=aex = - ae

. Equation of parabola

y2=4aex\equiv {y^2} = 4aex

Length of latus rectum of parabola

=4ae= 4ae

Length of latus rectum of hyperbola

=2.b2a= {{2.{b^2}} \over a}

as given,

4ae=2b2a.e4ae = {{2{b^2}} \over a}\,.\,e
2=b2a22 = {{{b^2}} \over {{a^2}}}

...... (i) \because H passes through

(22,22)8a28b2=1\left( {2\sqrt 2 , - 2\sqrt 2 } \right) \Rightarrow {8 \over {{a^2}}} - {8 \over {{b^2}}} = 1

........ (ii) From (i) and (ii)

a2=4{a^2} = 4

and

b2=8e=3{b^2} = 8 \Rightarrow e = \sqrt 3

\Rightarrow Equation of parabola is

y2=83x{y^2} = 8\sqrt 3 x

.

We have, RR be a rectangle formed by the lines x=0x=0, x=2,y=0x=2, y=0 and y=5y=5 Let PQRSP Q R S be the rectangle such that

P(0,0),Q(2,0),R(2,5) and S(0,5)P(0,0), Q(2,0), R(2,5) \text{ and } S(0,5)

PQ=SR=2P Q=S R=2 units and PS=QR=5P S=Q R=5 units \therefore Area of rectangle PQRS=(2×5)sqP Q R S=(2 \times 5) \mathrm{sq} units =10sq=10 \mathrm{sq} units Area of PAB=15×\triangle P A B=\dfrac{1}{5} \times Area of rectangle

Q38
For 0<θ<π/20<\theta<\pi / 2, if the eccentricity of the hyperbola x2y2cosec2θ=5x^2-y^2 \operatorname{cosec}^2 \theta=5 is 7\sqrt{7} times eccentricity of the ellipse x2cosec2θ+y2=5x^2 \operatorname{cosec}^2 \theta+y^2=5, then the value of θ\theta is :
A π6\dfrac{\pi}{6}
B 5π12\dfrac{5 \pi}{12}
C π3\dfrac{\pi}{3}
D π4\dfrac{\pi}{4}
Correct Answer
Option C
Solution

To find the value of θ\theta, we need to determine the relationship between the eccentricities of the given hyperbola and ellipse.

Let's start by writing down the standard forms of ellipse and hyperbola and then relate them to the given equations.

The standard form of an ellipse is: x2a2+y2b2=1\dfrac{x^2}{a^2} + \dfrac{y^2}{b^2} = 1 The eccentricity ee of an ellipse is given by: e=1b2a2 for a>be = \sqrt{1 - \dfrac{b^2}{a^2}}\ \text{for}\ a > b For the given ellipse: x2cosec2θ+y2=5x^2 \operatorname{cosec}^2 \theta + y^2 = 5 We can compare it with the standard form by writing it as: x25cosec2θ+y25=1\dfrac{x^2}{\dfrac{5}{\operatorname{cosec}^2 \theta}} + \dfrac{y^2}{5} = 1 From this we have a2=5cosec2θa^2 = \dfrac{5}{\operatorname{cosec}^2 \theta} and b2=5b^2 = 5.

The eccentricity of the ellipse (let's call it e1e_1) is: e1=15a2=155cosec2θ=1sin2θ=cosθe_1 = \sqrt{1 - \dfrac{5}{a^2}} = \sqrt{1 - \dfrac{5}{\dfrac{5}{\operatorname{cosec}^2 \theta}}} = \sqrt{1 - \operatorname{sin}^2 \theta} = \operatorname{cos} \theta The standard form of a hyperbola is: x2a2y2b2=1\dfrac{x^2}{a^2} - \dfrac{y^2}{b^2} = 1 The eccentricity ee of a hyperbola is given by: e=1+b2a2e = \sqrt{1 + \dfrac{b^2}{a^2}} For the given hyperbola: x2y2cosec2θ=5x^2 - y^2 \operatorname{cosec}^2 \theta = 5 We can rewrite it as: x25y25cosec2θ=1\dfrac{x^2}{5} - \dfrac{y^2}{\dfrac{5}{\operatorname{cosec}^2 \theta}} = 1 From this we have a2=5a^2 = 5 and b2=5cosec2θb^2 = \dfrac{5}{\operatorname{cosec}^2 \theta}.

The eccentricity of the hyperbola (let's call it e2e_2) is: e2=1+5cosec2θ5=1+sin2θe_2 = \sqrt{1 + \dfrac{\dfrac{5}{\operatorname{cosec}^2 \theta}}{5}} = \sqrt{1 + \operatorname{sin}^2 \theta} According to the question the eccentricity of the hyperbola is 7\sqrt{7} times the eccentricity of the ellipse, so we can write: e2=7e1e_2 = \sqrt{7} \cdot e_1 Substitute e1e_1 and e2e_2 from the above: 1+sin2θ=7cosθ\sqrt{1 + \operatorname{sin}^2 \theta} = \sqrt{7} \cdot \operatorname{cos} \theta Square both sides to eliminate the square root: 1+sin2θ=7cos2θ1 + \operatorname{sin}^2 \theta = 7 \cdot \operatorname{cos}^2 \theta 1+sin2θ=7(1sin2θ)1 + \operatorname{sin}^2 \theta = 7 \cdot (1 - \operatorname{sin}^2 \theta) 1+sin2θ=77sin2θ1 + \operatorname{sin}^2 \theta = 7 - 7 \cdot \operatorname{sin}^2 \theta 8sin2θ=68 \cdot \operatorname{sin}^2 \theta = 6 sin2θ=68=34\operatorname{sin}^2 \theta = \dfrac{6}{8} = \dfrac{3}{4} sinθ=34=32\operatorname{sin} \theta = \sqrt{\dfrac{3}{4}} = \dfrac{\sqrt{3}}{2} Looking at the options provided and knowing the sine values for common angles, we can see that sinθ=32\operatorname{sin} \theta = \dfrac{\sqrt{3}}{2} corresponds to θ=π3\theta = \dfrac{\pi}{3}.

The correct answer is: Option C.

π3\dfrac{\pi}{3}

Q39
Let e1e_1 be the eccentricity of the hyperbola x216y29=1\dfrac{x^2}{16}-\dfrac{y^2}{9}=1 and e2e_2 be the eccentricity of the ellipse x2a2+y2b2=1,a>b\dfrac{x^2}{a^2}+\dfrac{y^2}{b^2}=1, \mathrm{a} > \mathrm{b}, which passes through the foci of the hyperbola. If e1e2=1\mathrm{e}_1 \mathrm{e}_2=1, then the length of the chord of the ellipse parallel to the xx-axis and passing through (0,2)(0,2) is :
A 853\dfrac{8 \sqrt{5}}{3}
B 353 \sqrt{5}
C 454 \sqrt{5}
D 1053\dfrac{10 \sqrt{5}}{3}
Correct Answer
Option D
Solution
H:x216y29=1e1=54e1e2=1e2=45\begin{aligned} & H: \frac{x^2}{16}-\frac{y^2}{9}=1 \qquad e_1=\frac{5}{4} \\ & \therefore e_1 e_2=1 \Rightarrow e_2=\frac{4}{5} \end{aligned}

Also, ellipse is passing through

(±5,0)( \pm 5,0)
a=5 and b=3E:x225+y29=1\begin{aligned} & \therefore a=5 \text{ and } b=3 \\ & E: \frac{x^2}{25}+\frac{y^2}{9}=1 \end{aligned}

End point of chord are

(±553,2)\left( \pm \frac{5 \sqrt{5}}{3}, 2\right)
LPQ=1053\therefore \mathrm{L}_{\mathrm{PQ}}=\frac{10 \sqrt{5}}{3}

A 14254314 \sqrt{\dfrac{2}{5}}-\dfrac{4}{3}
B 725+837 \sqrt{\dfrac{2}{5}}+\dfrac{8}{3}
C 725837 \sqrt{\dfrac{2}{5}}-\dfrac{8}{3}
D 142516314 \sqrt{\dfrac{2}{5}}-\dfrac{16}{3}
