JEE Mains · Maths · STD 11 - 10.2 parabola,ellipse,hyperbola

If \(\mathrm{e}_{1}\) and \(\mathrm{e}_{2}\) are the eccentricities of the ellipse, \(\frac{\mathrm{x}^{2}}{18}+\frac{\mathrm{y}^{2}}{4}=1\) and the hyperbola, \(\frac{\mathrm{x}^{2}}{9}-\frac{\mathrm{y}^{2}}{4}=1\) respectively and \(\left(\mathrm{e}_{1}, \mathrm{e}_{2}\right)\) is a point on the ellipse, \(15 \mathrm{x}^{2}+3 \mathrm{y}^{2}=\mathrm{k},\) then \(\mathrm{k}\) is equal to 

  1. A \(15\)
  2. B \(14\)
  3. C \(17\)
  4. D \(16\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(16\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(e_{1}=\sqrt{1-\frac{4}{18}}=\frac{\sqrt{7}}{3}\) \(\mathrm{e}_{2}=\sqrt{1+\frac{4}{9}}=\frac{\sqrt{13}}{3}\) \(\because \quad\left(\mathrm{e}_{1}, \mathrm{e}_{2}\right)\) lies on \(15 \mathrm{x}^{2}+3 \mathrm{y}^{2}=\mathrm{k}\)…
