Q60 / 90 · JEE Main 2022 (27 Jul Shift 1) · Mathematics

An ellipse E:x2a2+y2b2=1 passes through the vertices of the hyperbola H:x249-y264=-1. Let the major and minor axes of the ellipse E coincide with the transverse and conjugate axes of the hyperbola H. Let the product of the eccentricities of E and H be 12. If l is the length of the latus rectum of the ellipse E, then the value of 113l is equal to _______.

Correct answer: 1552

Solution

Given,

Hyperbola:y264-x249=1

And ellipse E:x2a2+y2b2=1 passes through the vertices of the hyperbola H:x249-y264=-1, so vertices will be V≡0,±8

So b2=64

Now eccentricity of hyperbola will be eH=1+a2b2=1+4964

And eccentricity of ellipse x2a2+y2b2=1 will be

eE=1-a2b2=1-a264

And using b=8

We get, eH×eE=12 (given)

⇒1-a264×1138=12

⇒64-a2×113=32

⇒64-a2=322113

⇒a2=64-322113

Now length of latus rectum will be l=2a2b=2864-322113=1552113

⇒113l=1552

Hence, the correct answer is 1552.
