Let \(H _{ n }=\frac{ x ^2}{1+ n }-\frac{ y ^2}{3+ n }=1, n \in N\). Let \(k\) be the smallest even value of \(n\) such that the eccentricity of \(H _{ k }\) is a rational number. If \(l\) is length of the latus return of \(H _{ k }\), then \(21 l\) is equal to \(.......\).

  1. A \(305\)
  2. B \(306\)
  3. C \(304\)
  4. D \(303\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(306\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(Hn \Rightarrow \frac{ x ^2}{1+ n }-\frac{ y ^2}{3+ n }=1\) \(e =\sqrt{1+\frac{ b ^2}{ a ^2}}=\sqrt{1+\frac{3+ n }{1+ n }}=\sqrt{\frac{2 n +4}{ n +1}}\) \(e =\sqrt{\frac{2 n +4}{ n +1}}\) \(n =48(\text { smallest even value for which } e \in Q )\) \(e =\frac{10}{7}\)…
