Q.

Let the foci of a hypebola H coincide with the foci of the ellipse E:(x1)2100+(y1)275=1 and the eccentriticy of the hyperbola H be the reciprocal of the eccentricity of the ellipse E. If the length of the transverse axis of H is α and the length of its conjugate axis is β, then 3α2+2β2 is equal to          [2024]

Ans.

(2)

Eccentricity of ellipse E i.e., eE=1b2a2

=175100=25100=12

So, eccentricity of hyperbola = 2

Now, foci of ellipse = (1 ± ae, 1) = (1 ± 5, 1)

= (6, 1) and (–4, 1) = Foci of hyperbola

Now, distance between foci = 2aeH

 102+0=4a  a=52

Also,  eH2=1+b2a2

 (2)2=1+4b225  754=b2  b=752

Length of transverse axis of H = 2a2×52

 α=5

Length of conjugate axis of H = 2b = 75

 β=75

Now, 3α2+2β2=75+150=225.
