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

Let PQ be a chord of the hyperbola \( \frac{x^{2}}{4}-\frac{y^{2}}{b^{2}}=1 \), perpendicular to the x-axis such that OPQ is an equilateral triangle, O being the centre of the hyperbola. If the eccentricity of the hyperbola is \( \sqrt{3} \) then the area of the triangle OPQ is:

  1. A \( 2\sqrt{3} \)
  2. B \( \frac{8\sqrt{3}}{5} \)
  3. C \( \frac{11}{5} \)
  4. D \( \frac{9}{5} \)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \( \frac{8\sqrt{3}}{5} \)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(e=\sqrt{1+\frac{b}{4}}=\sqrt{3}\) \(\Rightarrow b =8\) ∴ Hyperbola \(\frac{ x ^2}{4}-\frac{ y ^2}{8}=1\) \(\frac{ PM }{ OM }=\tan 30^{\circ}\) \(\Rightarrow \frac{2 \sqrt{2} \tan \theta}{2 \sec \theta}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}} \Rightarrow \sin \theta=\frac{1}{\sqrt{6}}\) Area…
