Correct answer: A

  1. Ellipse eccentricity

Given ellipse: x225+y2b2=1,b<5\frac{x^2}{25}+\frac{y^2}{b^2}=1, \quad b<525x2​+b2y2​=1,b<5

Here the semi-major axis is a=5,andb<5a=5, \quad \text{and} \quad b<5a=5,andb<5 so its eccentricity is e1=c1a=a2−b2a=25−b25.e_1=\frac{c_1}{a}=\frac{\sqrt{a^2-b^2}}{a}=\frac{\sqrt{25-b^2}}{5}.e1​=ac1​​=aa2−b2​​=525−b2​​.

  1. Hyperbola eccentricity

Given hyperbola: x216−y2b2=1\frac{x^2}{16}-\frac{y^2}{b^2}=116x2​−b2y2​=1

For this hyperbola, a=4a=4a=4 and c2=a2+b2=16+b2.c_2=\sqrt{a^2+b^2}=\sqrt{16+b^2}.c2​=a2+b2​=16+b2​. So its eccentricity is e2=c2a=16+b24.e_2=\frac{c_2}{a}=\frac{\sqrt{16+b^2}}{4}.e2​=ac2​​=416+b2​​.

  1. Use the condition e1e2=1e_1e_2=1e1​e2​=1

We have 25−b25⋅16+b24=1.\frac{\sqrt{25-b^2}}{5}\cdot \frac{\sqrt{16+b^2}}{4}=1.525−b2​​⋅416+b2​​=1.

So, (25−b2)(16+b2)=20.\sqrt{(25-b^2)(16+b^2)}=20.(25−b2)(16+b2)​=20.

Squaring both sides, (25−b2)(16+b2)=400. (25-b^2)(16+b^2)=400.(25−b2)(16+b2)=400.

Expand: 400+25b2−16b2−b4=400400+25b^2-16b^2-b^4=400400+25b2−16b2−b4=400 400+9b2−b4=400400+9b^2-b^4=400400+9b2−b4=400 9b2−b4=09b^2-b^4=09b2−b4=0 b2(9−b2)=0.b^2(9-b^2)=0.b2(9−b2)=0.

Thus, b2=0orb2=9.b^2=0 \quad \text{or} \quad b^2=9.b2=0orb2=9.

Since bbb is a positive semi-axis length, we take b=3.b=3.b=3.

  1. Distance between foci of the ellipse

For the ellipse, c1=25−9=4.c_1=\sqrt{25-9}=4.c1​=25−9​=4. Distance between foci is α=2c1=8.\alpha=2c_1=8.α=2c1​=8.

  1. Distance between foci of the hyperbola

For the hyperbola, c2=16+9=5.c_2=\sqrt{16+9}=5.c2​=16+9​=5. Distance between foci is β=2c2=10.\beta=2c_2=10.β=2c2​=10.

  1. Final ordered pair

Therefore, (α,β)=(8,10).(\alpha,\beta)=(8,10).(α,β)=(8,10).

So the correct option is A.
