Q42 / 90 · JEE Main 2024 (01 Feb Shift 1) · Mathematics

For 0<θ<π/2, if the eccentricity of the hyperbola x2−y2cosec2θ=5 is 7 times eccentricity of the ellipse x2cosec2θ+y2=5, then the value of θ is:

  • A
    π6
  • B
    5π12
  • Correct answer
    C
    π3
  • D
    π4

Solution

Given:

The equation of hyperbola is, x2-y2cosec2θ=5

⇒x25-y25sin2θ=1 

And the equation of ellipse is x2cosec2θ+y2=5

⇒x25sin2θ+y25=1 here a<b as sin2θ≤1

So, eH=1+sin2θ & eE=1-sin2θ

Also given, eH=7eE

⇒1+sin2θ =71-sin2θ

⇒1+sin2θ =7-7sin2θ

⇒8sin2θ =6

⇒sinθ =32

⇒θ=π3

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'C'.
