Let , where , be a hyperbola in the -plane whose conjugate axis subtends an angle of at one of its vertices . Let the area of the triangle be .
LIST-ILIST-II
P.The length of the conjugate axis of is1.8
Q.The eccentricity of is2.
R.The distance between the foci of is3.
S.The length of the latus rectum of is4.4

The correct option is:
  1. (A)
  2. (B)✓ Correct
  3. (C)
  4. (D)

Answer: (B)

Solution

From the geometry, the conjugate axis has length and subtends at vertex . The triangle has base and height :


From the angle condition:

Solving:

P: Length of conjugate axis = → 4

Q: Eccentricity → 3

R: Distance between foci = → 1

S: Latus rectum = → 2
