Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) 3

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The latus rectum of the parabola \(P: y^2 = 4kx\) is the line segment \(x = k\). The endpoints of this latus rectum are \((k, 2k)\) and \((k, -2k)\). The latus rectum of the ellipse \(E: \dfrac{x^2}{a^2} + \dfrac{y^2}{b^2} = 1\) is the line segment \(x = ae\) (taking the one in…
