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

Let the common tangents to the curves \(4\left(x^{2}+y^{2}\right)=\) \(9\) and \(y ^{2}=4 x\) intersect at the point \(Q\). Let an ellipse, centered at the origin \(O\), has lengths of semi-minor and semi-major axes equal to \(OQ\) and \(6\) , respectively. If \(e\) and \(l\) respectively denote the eccentricity and the length of the latus rectum of this ellipse, then \(\frac{l}{ e ^{2}}\) is equal to

  1. A \(5\)
  2. B \(4\)
  3. C \(3\)
  4. D \(2\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(4\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(x^{2}+y^{2}=\frac{9}{4} \quad y=4 x\) Equation tangent in slope form \(y=m x \pm \frac{3}{2} \sqrt{\left(1+m^{2}\right)}\) .....\((1)\) \(y=m x+\frac{1}{m}\) .....\((2)\) compare \((1)\) and \((2)\) \(\pm \frac{3}{2} \sqrt{\left(1+m^{2}\right)}=\frac{1}{m^{2}}\)…
