Q41 / 90 · JEE Main 2024 (27 Jan Shift 2) · Mathematics

Let e1 be the eccentricity of the hyperbola x216-y29=1 and e2 be the eccentricity of the ellipse x2a2+y2b2=1, a>b, which passes through the foci of the hyperbola. If e1e2=1, then the length of the chord of the ellipse parallel to the x-axis and passing through (0,2) is :

  • A
    45
  • B
    853
  • Correct answer
    C
    1053
  • D
    35

Solution

The given equation of hyperbola is,  H:x216-y29=1

⇒e1=1+3242=16+916

⇒e1=54

Foci of this hyperbola is given by, F±ae,0.

⇒F±5,0

It is given that, e1e2=1

⇒e2=45

Also, ellipse is passing through (±5,0)

⇒52a2+0b2=1

⇒25a2=1

⇒a2=25

⇒a=5

Now, e2=1-b2a2

⇒45=1-b225

⇒1625=1-b225

⇒b225=925

⇒b2=9

∴a=5 and b=3

E:x225+y29=1

Figure

Putting, y=2

⇒x225+49=1

⇒x225=59

⇒x2=1259

⇒x=±553

So, end points of chord are ±553,2

Thus, length of chord PQ- is given by,

LPQ=2×553

⇒LPQ=1053

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