Question

If the foci of the ellipse  and the hyperbola  conincide, then the value of b2 is

Solution

Correct option is

7

For hyperbola 

   

  

Hence the foci are , i.e.

      

Now the foci coincide therefore for ellipse

      ae = 3  or   a2e2 = 9

or 

or a2 – b2 = 9   or 16 – 9 = b2   .
