Correct answer: B

  1. Find the eccentricity of the ellipse

The ellipse is x218+y24=1\frac{x^2}{18}+\frac{y^2}{4}=118x2​+4y2​=1 Here, a2=18,b2=4a^2=18,\quad b^2=4a2=18,b2=4 So, a=18,b=2a=\sqrt{18},\quad b=2a=18​,b=2 The eccentricity of an ellipse is e1=1−b2a2=1−418=1418=79=73e_1=\sqrt{1-\frac{b^2}{a^2}}=\sqrt{1-\frac{4}{18}}=\sqrt{\frac{14}{18}}=\sqrt{\frac79}=\frac{\sqrt7}{3}e1​=1−a2b2​​=1−184​​=1814​​=97​​=37​​

  1. Find the eccentricity of the hyperbola

The hyperbola is x29−y24=1\frac{x^2}{9}-\frac{y^2}{4}=19x2​−4y2​=1 Here, a2=9,b2=4a^2=9,\quad b^2=4a2=9,b2=4 For a hyperbola, e2=1+b2a2=1+49=139=133e_2=\sqrt{1+\frac{b^2}{a^2}}=\sqrt{1+\frac49}=\sqrt{\frac{13}{9}}=\frac{\sqrt{13}}{3}e2​=1+a2b2​​=1+94​​=913​​=313​​

  1. Use the point (e1,e2)(e_1,e_2)(e1​,e2​) on the ellipse

Given that (e1,e2)(e_1,e_2)(e1​,e2​) lies on the ellipse 15x2+3y2=k15x^2+3y^2=k15x2+3y2=k Substitute x=e1=73,y=e2=133x=e_1=\frac{\sqrt7}{3},\qquad y=e_2=\frac{\sqrt{13}}{3}x=e1​=37​​,y=e2​=313​​ Then k=15(73)2+3(133)2k=15\left(\frac{\sqrt7}{3}\right)^2+3\left(\frac{\sqrt{13}}{3}\right)^2k=15(37​​)2+3(313​​)2 =15⋅79+3⋅139=15\cdot \frac79+3\cdot \frac{13}{9}=15⋅97​+3⋅913​ =1059+399=\frac{105}{9}+\frac{39}{9}=9105​+939​ =1449=16=\frac{144}{9}=16=9144​=16

  1. Compare with the options

Thus, k=16k=16k=16 So the correct option is B.
