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

Let the foci of the ellipse \(\frac{x^{2}}{16}+\frac{y^{2}}{7}=1\) and the hyperbola \(\frac{ x ^{2}}{144}-\frac{ y ^{2}}{\alpha}=\frac{1}{25}\) coincide. Then the length of the latus rectum of the hyperbola is:-

  1. A \(\frac{32}{9}\)
  2. B \(\frac{18}{5}\)
  3. C \(\frac{27}{4}\)
  4. D \(\frac{27}{10}\)

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(\frac{27}{10}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Ellipse : \(\frac{x^{2}}{16}+\frac{y^{2}}{7}=1\) Eccentricity \(=\sqrt{1-\frac{7}{16}}=\frac{3}{4}\) Foci \(\equiv(\pm a \quad e, 0) \equiv(\pm 3,0)\) Hyperbola : \(\frac{x^{2}}{\left(\frac{144}{25}\right)}-\frac{y^{2}}{\left(\frac{\alpha}{25}\right)}=1\) Eccentricity…
