If $(1,2)$ is the focus, $x+2 y=0$ is the directrix and $\sqrt{2}$ is the eccentricity of a hyperbola, then the equation of the hyperbola is
  1. $x^2-y^2=a^2$
  2. $3 x^2-8 x y-3 y^2-10 x-20 y+25=0$
  3. $x y=c^2$
  4. $3 x^2-8 x y-3 y^2+10 x-20 y-25=0$

Solution

Focus is $(1,2)$, directrix is $x+2 y=0, e=\sqrt{2}$ $\therefore$ Hyperbola is $ \begin{aligned} & (x-1)^2+(y-2)^2=(\sqrt{2})^2 \frac{(x+2 y)^2}{1+4} \\ & \Rightarrow x^2+1-2 x+y^2+4-4 y=\frac{2}{5}\left[x^2+4 y^2+4 x y\right] \\ & \Rightarrow 5 x^2-10 x+5 y^2-20 y+25=2 x^2+8 y^2+8 x y \\ & \Rightarrow 3 x^2-8 x y-3 y^2-10 x-20 y+25=0 \end{aligned} $
