JEE MainMathematicsHyperbolaMCQ+4 / −1
Let e1 and e2 be the eccentricities of the ellipse and the hyperbola , respectively. If b < 5 and e1e2 = 1, then the eccentricity of the ellipse having its axes along the coordinate axes and passing through all four foci (two of the ellipse and two of the hyperbola) is :
- A
- B
- C
- D

Correct answer: B
- Find the eccentricities and
Given ellipse: Since , the major axis is along the -axis. Thus, For the ellipse,
Given hyperbola: Here, For the hyperbola,
- Use the condition
Squaring both sides, Expand: Take LCM of first two terms: Since for a valid conic,
- Find the foci of the given ellipse and hyperbola
For the ellipse: Since major axis is along -axis, its foci are:
For the hyperbola: Since transverse axis is along -axis, its foci are:
So the four points are:
- Equation of the required ellipse
The ellipse has axes along the coordinate axes, so its equation is of the form It passes through and . Hence, So the ellipse is
- Find its eccentricity
For this ellipse, Therefore,
- Check options
The correct option is: which is Option B.
