Options

  1. A262\sqrt{6}
  2. B30\sqrt{30}
  3. C253\dfrac{2\sqrt{5}}{3}
  4. D453\dfrac{4\sqrt{5}}{3}

Correct answer

D. 453\dfrac{4\sqrt{5}}{3}

Step-by-step solution

For hyperbola& x210−y210cos⁡2θ=1\dfrac{x2}{10} - \dfrac{y2}{10\cos^{2}\theta} = 1

The eccentricity of the hyperbola~eH=1+b2a2=1+cos⁡2θ{e}_{H} = \sqrt{1 + \dfrac{b2}{a2}} = \sqrt{1 + \cos^{2}\theta}

For ellipse~x25cos⁡2θ+y25=1\dfrac{x2}{5\cos^{2}\theta} + \dfrac{y2}{5} = 1

The eccentricity of an ellipse~eE=1−b2a2=1−cos⁡2θ=sinθ{e}_{E} = \sqrt{1 - \dfrac{b2}{a2}} = \sqrt{1 - \cos^{2}\theta} = sin\theta

Given,~eH=5eE{e}_{H} = \sqrt{5}{e}_{E}

⇒1+cos⁡2θ=5sin⁡2θ⇒cos⁡2θ=23⇒ 1 + \cos^{2}\theta = 5\sin^{2}\theta ⇒ \cos^{2}\theta = \dfrac{2}{3}

Now,~the length of the latus rectum~of an ellipse~=2b2a=10cos⁡2θ5=2035=453= \dfrac{2b^{2}}{a} = \dfrac{10\cos^{2}\theta}{5} = \dfrac{20}{3\sqrt{5}} = \dfrac{4\sqrt{5}}{3}
