Q100 / 160 · TS EAMCET 2022 (18 Jul Shift 1) · Mathematics

If x2k-52+y273-k=1 (k is a real number) represents a hyperbola, then the set of all values of k is

  • Correct answer
    A
    52,∞
  • B
    73,52
  • C
    -1,73∪52,1
  • D
    R-73,52

Solution

Given,

x2k-52+y273-k=1

⇒x2k-52-y2k-73=1

On comparing with equation of hyperbola x2a2-y2b2=1

We get, a2=k-52 & b2=k-73

Now to define a2 the value of k∈52,∞ ,

And to define b2 the value of k∈73,∞

Now on taling intersection on value of k we get, k∈52,∞

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