COMEDK · Maths · 14. Ellipse

If the foci of the ellipse \(\frac{x^{2}}{16}+\frac{y^{2}}{b^{2}}=1\) and the hyperbola \(\frac{x^{2}}{144}-\frac{y^{2}}{81}=\frac{1}{25}\) coincide then the value of \(b^{2}\) is

  1. A \(1\)
  2. B \(7\)
  3. C \(5\)
  4. D \(9\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(7\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The equation of the ellipse is \(\frac{x^{2}}{16}+\frac{y^{2}}{b^{2}}=1\) and equation of the hyperbola is \(\frac{x^{2}}{144}-\frac{y^{2}}{81}=\frac{1}{25}\) or \(\frac{x^{2}}{\left(\frac{12}{5}\right)^{2}}-\frac{y}{\left(\frac{9}{5}\right)^{2}}=1\) \(\therefore\) Eccentricity…
