Q55 / 90 · JEE Main 2023 (25 Jan Shift 1) · Mathematics

The vertices of a hyperbola H are ±6,0 and its eccentricity is 52. Let N be the normal to H at a point in the first quadrant and parallel to the line 2x+y=22. If d is the length of the line segment of N between H and the y-axis then d2 is equal to _____ .

Correct answer: 216

Solution

Given equation of hyperbola is

H:x236-y29=1

Any point on the hyperbola is P6secθ,3tanθ.

Figure

Equation of normal is

6xcosθ+3ycotθ=45

Also, this normal is parallel to the line 2x+y=22, therefore slope of both lines must be equal , hence

-2sinθ=-2

⇒sinθ=12

⇒θ=π4

Equation of normal is

2x+y=15

And, this normal intersects y-axis at K, so

P≡62,3 and K≡0,15.

So,

PK2=d2=62-02+3-152

⇒d2=216

Hence, the correct answer is 216.
