For the hyperbola and the ellipse , let the
(1) eccentricity of be reciprocal of the eccentricity of , and
(2) the line be a common tangent of and .
Then is equal to
Correct answer: 3
Solution
Given
For hyperbola
Also given that the common tangent of is
We know that the condition for common tangent of ellipse and hyperbola is
Now, for common tangency:
Hence, the correct answer is 3.
