A. ab
B. 4ab
C. 3ab
D. 2ab

SOLUTION

Solution : B


x2a2+y2b2=1
Area=πab
Let P =(a cosθ,b sinθ)
S=(ae,0)
M(h,k) be the midpoint of PS
(h,k)=(ae+a cosθ2,b sinθ2)
(hae2)2(a2)2+k2(b2)2=1
Area=πab4
Ratio=14

Question 2

A. (,4)
B. (4, 6)
C. (6,)
D. [4, 6]

SOLUTION

Solution : D

For the two ellipse to intersect at four different points
1<a21<(b5)2b/ϵ[4,6]

Question 3

If the ellipse x2a23+y2a+4=1 is inscribed in a square of side length a2 then a is

A. 4
B. 2
C. 1
D. None of these

SOLUTION

Solution : D

Sides of the square will be perpendicular tangents to the ellipse so, vertices of the square will lie on director circle. So diameter of director circle is
2(a23)+(a+4)=2a2+2a22a2+a+1=2aa=1But for ellipse a2>3&a>4
So there is no value of a which satisfy both.

B. (x+2)249+y240=1
C. (x+2)240+y249=1
D. (x2)240+y249=1

SOLUTION

Solution : C

A(2,3),B(2,3)
Let the third vertex be C(x,y)
AB + BC+CA=20
BC+CA=14
So locus of C is ellipse with A,B as focii.
2a=14
2ae=6
e=37
we get b as 40
Equation of ellipse is (x+2)240+y249=1

ax sinϕ+by=(a2+b2)tanϕ     ......(i)
and the equation of the line is
              lx + my + n =0                            …… (ii)
 now, equations (i) and (ii) represent the same line, therefore
2sinϕl=bm=(a2+b2)tanϕn=(a2+b2)sinϕncosϕ
  sinϕ=blamand cosϕ=(a2+b2)lna
    a2l2b2m2=(a2+b2)2n2

    C(x, y) = 2A(x, y) – H(x, y)           …… (i)
    H(x,y)x2+3xy+2y2+2x+3y=0
 Equation of asymptotes is
              x2+3xy+2y2+2x+3y+λ=0
    Δ=0,abc+2fghaf2bg2ch2=0,thenλ=1
    A(x,y)x2+3xy+2y2+2x+3y+1=0
    C(x,y)x2+3xy+2y2+2x+3y+2=0[from equation (i)]

Question 11

A. 2
B. 2
C. 0
D. None of these

SOLUTION

Question 12

Two concentric hyperbolas,whose axes meet at angle of 45,cut

A. at 450
B. at 900
C. Nothing can be said       
D. None of these

SOLUTION

Solution : B

Let the equation to the rectangular hyperbola be 
x2y2=a2       …… (i)
As the asymptotes of this are the axes of the other and vice-versa, hence the equation of the other hyperbola may be written as
xy=c2         …… (ii)
Let equations (i) and (ii) meet at some point whose coordinates are
(a secα,a tanα)
Then, the tangent at the point a (secα,atanα) to equation (ii) is
xysinα=acosα     …… (iii)
and the tangent at the point (a secα,atanα) to equation (ii) is
y+xsinα=(2c2a)cosα           …… (iv)
clearly, the slopes of the tangents given by equations (iv) and (iii) are respectively - secα and1sinα , so their product is secα.(1sinα)=1 Hence, the tangents are at right angle.

Question 13

If foci of hyperbola lie on y = x and one of the asymptotes is y = 2x, then equation of the hyperbola, given  that it passes through (3, 4), is

A. x2y252xy+5=0
B. 2x22y2+5xy+5=0
C. 2x2+2y25xy+10=0
D.  None of these

SOLUTION

Solution : C

Foci of hyperbola lie on y = x. So, the major axis is y = x. Major axis of hyperbola bisects the asymptote.
Equation of hyperbola is x = 2y
Equation of hyperbola is (y – 2x)(x – 2y) + k = 0
      Given that, it passes through (3, 4)
Hence, required equation is  
       2x2+2y25xy+10=0

Question 14

If two tangents can be drawn to the different branches of hyperbola
x21y24=1 from the paint (α,α2),        then 

A. αϵ(2,0)
 
B. αϵ(3,0)
C. αϵ(,2)
 
D. αϵ(,3)

SOLUTION

Solution : C

Given that,
 x21y24=1 




Since, (α,α2) lie on the parabola y=x2, then (α,α2) must lie between the asymptotes of hyperbola  x21y24=1 in 1st and 2nd quadrants.
 So, the asymptotes are y=±2x
            2α<α2
    α<0orα>2 and 2α<α2      
 α<2or2α<0
    αϵ(,2)or(2,)

Question 15

If a hyperbola passes through (2, 3) and has asymptotes 3x - 4y + 5 = 0 and 12x + 5y - 40 = 0, then the equation of its transverse axis is
 
 

A. 77x - 21y - 265 = 0
B. 21x - 77y + 265 = 0
C. 21x - 77y - 265 = 0
D. 21x + 77y - 265 = 0

SOLUTION

Solution : D

ransverse axis is the equation of the angle bisector passing containing point (2, 3), which is given by
3x4y+55=12x+5y4013
 21x+77y=265
