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

The locus of the point of intersection of the straight lines, \(tx -2y-3t=0\) \(x - 2ty+ 3 = 0\) \(\left( {t \in R} \right)\), is

  1. A an ellipse with eccentricity \(\frac{2}{{\sqrt 5 }}\)
  2. B an ellipse with the length of major axis \(6\)
  3. C a hyperbola with eccentricity \(\sqrt 5 \)
  4. D a hyperbola with the length of conjugate axis \(3\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) a hyperbola with the length of conjugate axis \(3\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Here, \(tx - 2y - 3t = 0\,\ and \,x - 2ty + 3 = 0\) On solving we get; \(y = \frac{{3t}}{{{t^2} - 1}}\,\,\ and \,\,x = \frac{{3{t^2} + 3}}{{{t^2} - 1}}\) Put \(t = \tan \,\theta \) \(\therefore x = - 3\,\sec 2\theta \,\ and \,\,2y = 3\left( { - tan2\theta } \right)\)…
