The foci of a hyperbola are (- 5, 18) and (10, 20) and it touches the Y-axis. The length of its transverse axis is

  • 100

  • 892

  • 89

  • 50


C.

89

Let 2a and 2b be respectively lengths of transverse and conjugate axes of the hyperbola and its eccentricity be e. Then,

2ae = Distance between foci

 2ae = 17   ae = 17/2

We know that, the product of lengths of perpendicular from two foci on any tangent to a hyperbola is b2.

Since, given hyperbola touches Y-axis i.e., x = 0

               b2 = 50 a2e2 - 1 = 50 2894 - a2 = 50 a2 = 894  a = ± 892   a = 892         length is positiveHence, length of transverse axis = 2a = 89

  • x - 1220 + y - 2245 = 1

  • x + 1245 + y + 2220 = 1
