A hyperbola having the transverse axis of length has the same foci as that of the ellipse 3x2 + 4y2 = 12, then this hyperbola does not pass through which of the following points?
- A
- B
- C
- D
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: B
- Write the ellipse in standard form
Given ellipse: Divide by : So, Since , the major axis is along the -axis.
Its foci are at: Hence the foci are:
- Form the hyperbola with same foci
The hyperbola has the same foci , so it must be of the form: with
Given transverse axis length . For hyperbola, transverse axis length . So, Therefore, Now,
Thus the hyperbola is: which simplifies to or
- Check each option
We test whether each point satisfies
Option A:
So A lies on the hyperbola.
Option B:
Since , this point does not lie on the hyperbola.
Option C:
So C lies on the hyperbola.
Option D:
So D lies on the hyperbola.
- Conclusion
The hyperbola does not pass through: So the correct option is B.
