For some θ ∈ 0 , π 2 , if the eccentricity of the hyperbola, x 2 - y 2 sec 2 θ = 10 is…

For some θ0,π2, if the eccentricity of the hyperbola, x2-y2sec2θ=10 is 5 times the eccentricity of the ellipse, x2sec2θ+y2=5, then the length of the latus rectum of the ellipse, is
  1. 26
  2. 30
  3. 253
  4. 453

Solution

For hyperbola x210-y210cos2θ=1

The eccentricity of the hyperbola eH=1+b2a2=1+cos2θ 

For ellipse x25cos2θ+y25=1

The eccentricity of an ellipse eE=1-b2a2=1-cos2θ=sinθ

Given, eH=5 eE

1+cos2θ=5sin2θcos2θ=23 

Now, the length of the latus rectum of an ellipse =2b2a=10cos2θ5=2035=453
