Let e 1 be the eccentricity of the hyperbola x 2 16 - y 2 9 = 1 and e 2 be the eccentricity of the ellipse x…

Let e1 be the eccentricity of the hyperbola x216-y29=1 and e2 be the eccentricity of the ellipse x2a2+y2b2=1, a>b, which passes through the foci of the hyperbola. If e1e2=1, then the length of the chord of the ellipse parallel to the x-axis and passing through (0,2) is :
  1. 45
  2. 853
  3. 1053
  4. 35

Solution

The given equation of hyperbola is,  H:x216-y29=1

e1=1+3242=16+916

e1=54

Foci of this hyperbola is given by, F±ae,0.

F±5,0

It is given that, e1e2=1

e2=45

Also, ellipse is passing through (±5,0)

52a2+0b2=1

25a2=1

a2=25

a=5

Now, e2=1-b2a2

45=1-b225

1625=1-b225

b225=925

b2=9

a=5 and b=3

E:x225+y29=1

Putting, y=2

x225+49=1

x225=59

x2=1259

x=±553

So, end points of chord are ±553,2

Thus, length of chord PQ- is given by,

LPQ=2×553

LPQ=1053
