Hyperbola Ques 10

Let $H: \frac{x^{2}}{a^{2}}-\frac{y^{2}}{b^{2}}=1$, where $a>b>0$, be a hyperbola in the $X Y$-plane whose conjugate axis $L M$ subtends an angle of $60^{\circ}$ at one of its vertices $N$. Let the area of the $\triangle L M N$ be $4 \sqrt{3}$.

List-I List-II
P. The length of the
conjugate axis of $H$ is
1. 8
Q. The eccentricity of $H$ is 2. $\frac{4}{\sqrt{3}}$
R. The distance between the
foci of $H$ is
3. $\frac{2}{\sqrt{3}}$
S. The length of the latus
rectum of $H$ is
4. 4

The correct option is

(a) $P \rightarrow 4 ; Q \rightarrow 2 ; R \rightarrow 1 ; S \rightarrow 3$

(b) $P \rightarrow 4 ; Q \rightarrow 3 ; R \rightarrow 1 ; S \rightarrow 2$

(c) $P \rightarrow 4 ; Q \rightarrow 1 ; R \rightarrow 3 ; S \rightarrow 2$

(d) $P \rightarrow 3 ; Q \rightarrow 4 ; R \rightarrow 2 ; S \rightarrow 1$

Answer:

Correct Answer: 10.(b)

Solution:

  1. We have,

Equation of hyperbola

It is given,

$ \angle L N M=60^{\circ} $

and $\quad$ Area of $\triangle L M N=4 \sqrt{3}$

Now, $\triangle L N M$ is an equilateral triangle whose sides is $2 b$

$[\because \triangle L O N \cong \triangle M O L ; ]$

$[\therefore \quad \angle N L O=\angle N M O=60^{\circ}]$

$\therefore$ Area of $\triangle L M N=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}(2 b)^{2}$

$\Rightarrow 4 \sqrt{3}=\sqrt{3} b^{2} \Rightarrow b=2$

Also, area of $\triangle L M N=\frac{1}{2} a(2 b)=a b$

$\Rightarrow \quad 4 \sqrt{3}=a(2) \quad \Rightarrow \quad a=2 \sqrt{3}$

(P) Length of conjugate axis $=2 b=2(2)=4$

(Q) Eccentricity $(e)=\sqrt{1+\frac{b^{2}}{a^{2}}}=\sqrt{1+\frac{4}{12}}=\frac{4}{2 \sqrt{3}}=\frac{2}{\sqrt{3}}$

(R) Distance between the foci $=2 a e=2 \times 2 \sqrt{3} \times \frac{2}{\sqrt{3}}=8$

(S) The length of latusrectum $=\frac{2 b^{2}}{a}=\frac{2(4)}{2 \sqrt{3}}=\frac{4}{\sqrt{3}}$

$P \rightarrow 4 ; Q \rightarrow 3 ; R \rightarrow 1 ; S \rightarrow 2$
