  • A
    18
  • B
    26
  • Correct answer
    C

Solution

Plotting the diagram of given data we get,

Figure

Given equation of hyperbola is x29-y24=1.

⇒a2=9, b2=4

We know that, b2=a2e2-1

⇒e2=1+b2a2

⇒e2=1+49

⇒e2=139

⇒e=133

Now, S1S2=2ae

⇒S1S2=2×3×133

⇒S1S2=213

It is given that, area of ΔPS1S2 is 213.

⇒12×β×S1S2=213

⇒12×β×213=213

⇒β=2

Since, α,β lies on the hyperbola,

⇒α29-β24=1

⇒α29-1=1

⇒α2=18

⇒α=32

Distance of P from origin is given by,

OP=α2+β2

⇒OP=18+4

⇒OP=22

⇒OP2=22

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