Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(9\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

We know, two curves \(\frac{x^2}{a_1^2}+\frac{y^2}{b_1^2}=1\) and \(\frac{x^2}{a_2^2}+\frac{y^2}{b_2^2}=1\) cut orthogonally. Then, \(a_1^2-a_2^2=b_1^2-b_2^2\) Here, equation of curves are \[ \frac{x^2}{a^2}+\frac{y^2}{b^2}=1 \text { and } \frac{x^2}{25}+\frac{y^2}{16}=1 \]…
