A hyperbola passing through a focus of the ellipse $\frac{x^2}{169}+\frac{y^2}{25}=1$. Its transverse and conjugate axes coincide respectively with the major and minor axes of the ellipse. The product of eccentricities is 1 . Then, the equation of the hyperbola is
  1. $\frac{x^2}{144}-\frac{y^2}{9}=1$
  2. $\frac{x^2}{169}-\frac{y^2}{25}=1$
  3. $\frac{x^2}{144}-\frac{y^2}{25}=1$
  4. $\frac{x^2}{25}-\frac{y^2}{9}=1$

Solution

Let the equation of hyperbola be $ \frac{x^2}{a^2}-\frac{y^2}{b^2}=1 $ Given equation of ellipse is $ \frac{x^2}{(13)^2}+\frac{y^2}{(5)^2}=1 $ Here, $ \begin{aligned} & \text { Here, } \quad a=13, b=5 \\ & \therefore \quad e=\sqrt{1-\frac{b^2}{a^2}} \\ & \therefore \quad=\sqrt{1-\frac{25}{169}}=\sqrt{\frac{144}{169}}=\frac{12}{13} \\ & \therefore \text { Focus }( \pm a e, 0)=\left( \pm 13 \times \frac{12}{13}, 0\right) \\ & \quad=( \pm 12,0) \end{aligned} $ Since, Eq. (i) passes through $( \pm 12,0)$. $ \begin{array}{rrrl} \therefore & \frac{144}{a^2}-\frac{0}{b^2}=1 \\ \Rightarrow & a^2=144 \\ \Rightarrow & a= \pm 12 \end{array} $ Now eccentricity of hyperbola $ \begin{aligned} e^{\prime} & =\sqrt{1+\frac{b^2}{a^2}} \\ & =\sqrt{1+\frac{b^2}{144}} \end{aligned} $ According to the equation, $ \begin{array}{rlrl} & e^{\prime}=1 \\ \Rightarrow & & \frac{12}{13} \times \sqrt{1+\frac{b^2}{144}} & =1 \\ \Rightarrow & & \sqrt{1+\frac{b^2}{144}} & =\frac{13}{12} \\ \Rightarrow & & 1+\frac{b^2}{144} & =\frac{169}{144} \\ \Rightarrow & & \frac{b^2}{144} & =\frac{169}{144}-1 \\ \Rightarrow & & \frac{b^2}{144} & =\frac{25}{144} \\ b^2 & =25 \end{array} $ $\therefore$ Equation of hyperbola is $ \frac{x^2}{144}-\frac{y^2}{25}=1 $
