Hyperbola question

2022 · 24 Jun · Shift 2 · Q44

JEE MainMathematicsHyperbolaNumerical+4 / −1
Let the hyperbola H:x2a2−y2=1H:{{{x^2}} \over {{a^2}}} - {y^2} = 1H:a2x2​−y2=1 and the ellipse E:3x2+4y2=12E:3{x^2} + 4{y^2} = 12E:3x2+4y2=12 be such that the length of latus rectum of H is equal to the length of latus rectum of E. If eH{e_H}eH​ and eE{e_E}eE​ are the eccentricities of H and E respectively, then the value of 12(eH2+eE2)12\left( {e_H^2 + e_E^2} \right)12(eH2​+eE2​) is equal to ‾\underline{\hspace{2cm}}​.

Correct answer: 42

  1. Write both conics in standard form

The hyperbola is H:x2a2−y2=1H:\frac{x^2}{a^2}-y^2=1H:a2x2​−y2=1 which can be written as x2a2−y21=1.\frac{x^2}{a^2}-\frac{y^2}{1}=1.a2x2​−1y2​=1. So for the hyperbola, bH2=1.b_H^2=1.bH2​=1.

The ellipse is E:3x2+4y2=12.E:3x^2+4y^2=12.E:3x2+4y2=12. Dividing by 121212, x24+y23=1.\frac{x^2}{4}+\frac{y^2}{3}=1.4x2​+3y2​=1. So for the ellipse, aE2=4,bE2=3.a_E^2=4,\quad b_E^2=3.aE2​=4,bE2​=3.


  1. Use latus rectum lengths

For a hyperbola x2a2−y2b2=1\dfrac{x^2}{a^2}-\dfrac{y^2}{b^2}=1a2x2​−b2y2​=1, the length of latus rectum is LH=2b2a.L_H=\frac{2b^2}{a}.LH​=a2b2​. Here bH2=1b_H^2=1bH2​=1, so LH=2a.L_H=\frac{2}{a}.LH​=a2​.

For an ellipse x2a2+y2b2=1\dfrac{x^2}{a^2}+\dfrac{y^2}{b^2}=1a2x2​+b2y2​=1, the length of latus rectum is LE=2b2a.L_E=\frac{2b^2}{a}.LE​=a2b2​. Here aE=2a_E=2aE​=2 and bE2=3b_E^2=3bE2​=3, so LE=2⋅32=3.L_E=\frac{2\cdot 3}{2}=3.LE​=22⋅3​=3.

Given LH=LEL_H=L_ELH​=LE​, 2a=3  ⟹  a=23.\frac{2}{a}=3 \implies a=\frac{2}{3}.a2​=3⟹a=32​.

Thus for the hyperbola, aH2=49,bH2=1.a_H^2=\frac{4}{9},\quad b_H^2=1.aH2​=94​,bH2​=1.


  1. Find eccentricity of the hyperbola

For the hyperbola, eH2=1+bH2aH2.e_H^2=1+\frac{b_H^2}{a_H^2}.eH2​=1+aH2​bH2​​. So, eH2=1+14/9=1+94=134.e_H^2=1+\frac{1}{4/9}=1+\frac{9}{4}=\frac{13}{4}.eH2​=1+4/91​=1+49​=413​.


  1. Find eccentricity of the ellipse

For the ellipse, eE2=1−bE2aE2=1−34=14.e_E^2=1-\frac{b_E^2}{a_E^2}=1-\frac{3}{4}=\frac{1}{4}.eE2​=1−aE2​bE2​​=1−43​=41​.


  1. Compute the required value

eH2+eE2=134+14=144=72.e_H^2+e_E^2=\frac{13}{4}+\frac{1}{4}=\frac{14}{4}=\frac{7}{2}.eH2​+eE2​=413​+41​=414​=27​.

Therefore, 12(eH2+eE2)=12⋅72=42.12\left(e_H^2+e_E^2\right)=12\cdot \frac{7}{2}=42.12(eH2​+eE2​)=12⋅27​=42.


  1. Comparison with stored answer

Derived answer = 424242.

Stored correct answer = 424242.

They agree.
