Correct answer: B

  1. Equation and key points of the hyperbola

    Given x2a2−y2b2=1,a>b>0.\frac{x^2}{a^2}-\frac{y^2}{b^2}=1, \qquad a>b>0.a2x2​−b2y2​=1,a>b>0.

    For this hyperbola:

    • Vertices are N=(±a,0)N=(\pm a,0)N=(±a,0)
    • Conjugate axis endpoints are L=(0,b)L=(0,b)L=(0,b) and M=(0,−b)M=(0,-b)M=(0,−b)
    • Length of conjugate axis =2b=2b=2b
    • Eccentricity e=cae=\frac{c}{a}e=ac​ where c2=a2+b2c^2=a^2+b^2c2=a2+b2
    • Distance between foci =2c=2c=2c
    • Length of latus rectum =2b2a=\dfrac{2b^2}{a}=a2b2​
  2. Use the angle condition

    The conjugate axis LMLMLM subtends an angle 60∘60^\circ60∘ at one vertex NNN.

    Take the vertex N=(a,0)N=(a,0)N=(a,0). Then the angle ∠LNM=60∘\angle LNM=60^\circ∠LNM=60∘.

    Vectors: NL→=(−a,b),NM→=(−a,−b).\overrightarrow{NL}=(-a,b), \qquad \overrightarrow{NM}=(-a,-b).NL=(−a,b),NM=(−a,−b).

    Using the dot product, \cos \angle LNM= rac{\overrightarrow{NL}\cdot\overrightarrow{NM}}{|\overrightarrow{NL}|\,|\overrightarrow{NM}|}.

    Now, NL→⋅NM→=a2−b2,\overrightarrow{NL}\cdot\overrightarrow{NM}=a^2-b^2,NL⋅NM=a2−b2, and ∣NL→∣=∣NM→∣=a2+b2.|\overrightarrow{NL}|=|\overrightarrow{NM}|=\sqrt{a^2+b^2}.∣NL∣=∣NM∣=a2+b2​.

    So, cos⁡60∘=a2−b2a2+b2.\cos 60^\circ=\frac{a^2-b^2}{a^2+b^2}.cos60∘=a2+b2a2−b2​.

    Since cos⁡60∘=12\cos 60^\circ=\frac12cos60∘=21​, a2−b2a2+b2=12.\frac{a^2-b^2}{a^2+b^2}=\frac12.a2+b2a2−b2​=21​.

    Therefore, 2a2−2b2=a2+b22a^2-2b^2=a^2+b^22a2−2b2=a2+b2 a2=3b2.a^2=3b^2.a2=3b2.

  3. Use the area condition

    Triangle LMNLMNLMN has base LM=2bLM=2bLM=2b and the perpendicular distance from N=(a,0)N=(a,0)N=(a,0) to the line x=0x=0x=0 is a.a.a.

    Hence, Area(△LMN)=12⋅2b⋅a=ab.\text{Area}(\triangle LMN)=\frac12\cdot 2b\cdot a=ab.Area(△LMN)=21​⋅2b⋅a=ab.

    Given area is 434\sqrt343​, so ab=43.ab=4\sqrt3.ab=43​.

    From a2=3b2a^2=3b^2a2=3b2, since a>b>0a>b>0a>b>0, a=3 b.a=\sqrt3\,b.a=3​b.

    Substitute into ab=43ab=4\sqrt3ab=43​: 3 b2=43\sqrt3\,b^2=4\sqrt33​b2=43​ b2=4b^2=4b2=4 b=2.b=2.b=2.

    Then a=3⋅2=23.a=\sqrt3\cdot 2=2\sqrt3.a=3​⋅2=23​.

  4. Now compute the required quantities

    P. Length of conjugate axis

    2b=2(2)=4.2b=2(2)=4.2b=2(2)=4. So, P→4.P \to 4.P→4. In List-II, this is 4.

    Q. Eccentricity

    c2=a2+b2=(23)2+22=12+4=16c^2=a^2+b^2=(2\sqrt3)^2+2^2=12+4=16c2=a2+b2=(23​)2+22=12+4=16 c=4.c=4.c=4.

    Therefore, e=ca=423=23.e=\frac{c}{a}=\frac{4}{2\sqrt3}=\frac{2}{\sqrt3}.e=ac​=23​4​=3​2​. So, Q→23.Q \to \frac{2}{\sqrt3}.Q→3​2​. In List-II, this is 3.

    R. Distance between the foci

    2c=2(4)=8.2c=2(4)=8.2c=2(4)=8. So, R→8.R \to 8.R→8. In List-II, this is 1.

    S. Length of latus rectum

    2b2a=2⋅423=43.\frac{2b^2}{a}=\frac{2\cdot 4}{2\sqrt3}=\frac{4}{\sqrt3}.a2b2​=23​2⋅4​=3​4​. So, S→43.S \to \frac{4}{\sqrt3}.S→3​4​. In List-II, this is 2.

  5. Final matching

    Thus,

    • P→4P \to 4P→4
    • Q→3Q \to 3Q→3
    • R→1R \to 1R→1
    • S→2S \to 2S→2

    This corresponds to Option B.
