JEE MainMathematicsHyperbolaMCQ+4 / −1
If a directrix of a hyperbola centred at the origin and passing through the point (4, –2 ) is 5x = 4 and its eccentricity is e, then :
- A4e4 – 24e2 + 27 = 0
- B4e4 – 24e2 + 35 = 0
- C4e4 – 12e2 - 27 = 0
- D4e4 + 8e2 - 35 = 0

Correct answer: B
- Interpret the directrix
The given directrix is
Since the hyperbola is centred at the origin and a directrix is of the form , the transverse axis is along the -axis.
So the hyperbola must be of the form with directrices
Hence,
Therefore,
- Use the fact that the hyperbola passes through
Substitute , into
We get
For a hyperbola,
Substitute this into the point condition:
Now use :
Simplify:
Multiply throughout by :
So,
Bring all terms to one side:
- Match with the options
We obtained which is Option B.
- Verification with stored answer
Stored correct answer: B
Derived answer: B
So they agree.
