Hyperbola 1 Question 15

16.

An ellipse intersects the hyperbola 2x22y2=1 orthogonally. The eccentricity of the ellipse is reciprocal to that of the hyperbola. If the axes of the ellipse are along the coordinate axes, then

(2009)

(a) equation of ellipse is x2+2y2=2

(b) the foci of ellipse are (±1,0)

(c) equation of ellipse is x2+2y2=4

(d) the foci of ellipse are (±2,0)

Answer:

Correct Answer: 16. (a,b)

Solution:

  1. Given,

2x22y2=1

x212y212=1

Eccentricity of hyperbola =2

So, eccentricity of ellipse =1/2

Let equation of ellipse be

x2a2+y2b2=1

[where a>b ]

12=1b2a2b2a2=12a2=2b2x2+2y2=2b2

Let ellipse and hyperbola intersect at

A12secθ,12tanθ

On differentiating Eq. (i), we get

4x4ydydx=0dydx=xydydx|at A=secθtanθ=cosecθ

and on differentiating Eq. (ii), we get

2x+4ydydx=0dydx|at A=x2y=12cosecθ

Since, ellipse and hyperbola are orthogonal.

12cosec2θ=1cosec2θ=2θ=±π4

A1,12 or 1,12

Form Eq. (ii), 1+2122=2b2

b2=1

Equation of ellipse is x2+2y2=2.

Coordinates of foci (±ae,0)=±212,0=(±1,0)

If major axis is along Y-axis, then

12=1a2b2b2=2a22x2+y2=2a2Y=2xyy12secθ,12tanθ=2sinθ

As ellipse and hyperbola are orthogonal

2sinθcosecθ=1cosec2θ=12θ=±π42x2+y2=2a22+12=2a2a2=542x2+y2=52, corresponding foci are (0,±1)

Hence, option (a) and (b) are correct.
