Q34 / 40 · NTA Abhyas (JEE Main) 2020 · Mathematics · Hyperbola
The locus of a point which moves such that the difference of its distances from the points and is units is a conic, whose length of the latus rectum (in units) is equal to
- A
- B
- C
- Correct answerD
Solution
Because
Hence, the locus is a hyperbola by definition.
Let's assume the eccentricity, semi-transverse axis and the semi-conjugate axis of the hyperbola is and respectively, then
{Distance between focii }
&
length of the latus rectum
Hence, the correct answer is option: 'D'.
