JEE Main 2022 (28 Jul Shift 2)

Question

Let the hyperbola H:x2a2-y2 b2=1 pass through the point 22,-22. A parabola is drawn whose focus is same as the focus of H with positive abscissa and the directrix of the parabola passes through the other focus of H. If the length of the latus rectum of the parabola is e times the length of the latus rectum of H, where e is the eccentricity of H, then which of the following points lies on the parabola?

Correct answer
B33,-62

Step-by-step explanation

Given,

H: x2a2-y2 b2=1

So coordinates of foci will be : Sae,0,S'ae,0

Now foot of directrix of parabola will be -ae,0

Also focus of parabola is which is same as focus of H will be ae, 0

Now, semi latus rectum of parabola =SS'=2ae

Given, 4ae=e2b2a

b2=2a2     ...1

Also given, 22,-22 lies on H: x2a2-y2 b2=1

222a2-222 b2=1

1a2-1 b2=18   ...2

Now from equation 1 & 2 we get,

a2=4, b2=8

b2=a2e2-1

  e=3

So, the equation of parabola is y2=4×aexy2=83x

So, only 33,-62 will satisfy the parabola y2=83x
