JEE Main 2024 (04 Apr Shift 2)

Question

Consider a hyperbola having centre at the origin and foci on the -axis. Let be the circle touching the hyperbola and having the centre at the origin. Let be the circle touching the hyperbola at its vertex and having the centre at one of its foci. If areas (in sq units) of and are and , respectively, then the length (in units) of latus rectum of is

Correct answer
B

Step-by-step explanation

Let $\begin{aligned} & \therefore \mathrm{eq}^{\mathrm{n}} \text { of } \mathrm{C}_1 \\ & \text { Ar. }=36 \pi \\ & \pi \mathrm{a}^2=36 \pi \\ & \mathrm{a}=6 \end{aligned}$
Now radius of can be or for for
Ar. Not possible $\begin{aligned} & \therefore \mathrm{b}^2=36\left(\frac{16}{9}-1\right)=28 \\ & \therefore L R=\frac{2 \mathrm{~b}^2}{\mathrm{a}}=\frac{2 \times 28}{6}=\frac{28}{3} \end{aligned}$
