Consider the hyperbola having one of its focus at P(–3, 0). If the latus rectum through its other focus subtends a right angle at P and , then is ___________. [2025]
(1944)
We have,
In ,
[ ae = 3]
Also,
[]
Now, []
On comparing, we get = 810 and = 1134
.
Let the lengths of the transverse and conugate axes of a hyperbola in standard form be 2a and 2b, respectively, and one focus and the corresponding directrix of this hyperbola be (–5, 0) and 5x + 9 = 0, respectively. If the product of the focal distances of a point on the hyperbola is p, then 4p is equal to __________. [2025]
(189)
Given, focus = (–5, 0)
Also,
Since, hyperbola passes through , we get
Now,
.
Let the circle C touch the line x – y + 1 = 0, have the centre on the positive x-axis, and cut off a chord of length along the line –3x + 2y = 1. Let H be the hyperbola , whose one of the foci is the centre of C and the length of the transverse axis is the diameter of C. Then is equal to __________. [2025]
(19)
Since, centre of circle lies on positive x-axis and one of the foci of hyperbola are same.
Centre of circle =
Since, x – y + 1 = 0 is tangent to the circle.
[where 'r' is the radius of circle]
... (i)
Also, –3x + 2y = 1 is the chord of the circle

Let and be two hyperbolas having length of latus rectums and respectively. Let their eccentricities be and respectively. If the product of the lengths of their transverse axes is , then is equal to __________. [2025]
(55)
Given, Hyperbola : and and
Using , length of latus rectum =
... (i)
Since, ... (ii)
Using (i) and (ii), we get
Now, for ... (iii)
Since, product of transverse axes is , then
[Using (iii)]
Now, eccentricity of is given by
.
