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

Let \(\mathrm{A}(\alpha, 0)\) and \(\mathrm{B}(0, \beta)\) be the points on the line \(5 x+7 y=50\). Let the point \(P\) divide the line segment \(A B\) internally in the ratio \(7: 3\). Let \(3 x-\) \(25=0\) be a directrix of the ellipse \(E: \frac{x^2}{a^2}+\frac{y^2}{b^2}=1\) and the corresponding focus be \(S\). If from \(S\), the perpendicular on the \(\mathrm{x}\)-axis passes through \(\mathrm{P}\), then the length of the latus rectum of \(\mathrm{E}\) is equal to

  1. A  \(\frac{25}{3}\)
  2. B  \(\frac{32}{9}\)
  3. C \(\frac{25}{9}\)
  4. D \(\frac{32}{5}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(\frac{32}{5}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\left.\begin{array}{l}\mathrm{A}=(10,0) \\ \mathrm{B}=\left(0, \frac{50}{7}\right)\end{array}\right\} \mathrm{P}=(3,5)\) \(\mathrm{ae}=3\) \(\frac{\mathrm{a}}{\mathrm{e}}=\frac{25}{3}\) \(\mathrm{a}=5\) \(\mathrm{~b}=4\) Length of \(L R=\frac{2 b^2}{a}=\frac{32}{5}\)
