Q.

Let S be the focus of the hyperbola x23–y25=1, on the positive x-axis. Let C be the circle with its centre at A(6,5) and passing through the point S. If O is the origin and SAB is a diameter of C, then the square of the area of the triangle OSB is equal to __________.          [2024]


Ans.

(40)

x33–y25=1 ⇒a= 3, b=5

∴  e=1+53 ⇒ e=83

∴  ae=8=22      ∴  S=(22, 0)

A is mid-point of BS ⇒ B(26–22,25)

Area of △(OSB), A=|12|001220126–22251||=210

⇒ A2=40.
