Question

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

Solution

Correct option is

 

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

Then, 

       2ae = Distance between foci    

   

  

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. 

  

.

Hence, length of transverse axis,
