Step-by-step solution

Given,

Equation of hyperbola,

Hn:x21+n−y23+n=1,n∈N{H}_{n}: \dfrac{{x}^{2}}{1 + n} - \dfrac{{y}^{2}}{3 + n} = 1, n \in \mathbb{N}

Now using the eccentricity formula we get,

e2=1+3+n1+n{e}^{2} = 1 + \dfrac{3 + n}{1 + n}

⇒e2=2n+4n+1=2(n+2)n+1⇒ {e}^{2} = \dfrac{2n + 4}{n + 1} = \dfrac{2 ( n + 2 )}{n + 1}

Now check when (n+1)=9,25,49,……( n + 1 ) = 9, 25, 49, \ldots \ldots is perfect square and then at the same time 2(n+2)2\left(n + 2\right) should also be perfect square,

So checking for n=8→e2=209n = 8 \to {e}^{2} = \dfrac{20}{9}

n=24→e2=5225n = 24 \to {e}^{2} = \dfrac{52}{25}

n=48→e2=10049⇒e=107n = 48 \to {e}^{2} = \dfrac{100}{49} ⇒ e = \dfrac{10}{7}

Hence, for n=48n = 48 both n+1 and 2(n+2)n + 1 \text{ and } 2\left(n + 2\right) are perfect square,

Now we know that,

Length of latusrectum is given by l=2b2a=2(n+3)n+1=2×517l = \dfrac{2{b}^{2}}{a} = \dfrac{2\left(n + 3\right)}{\sqrt{n + 1}} = \dfrac{2 \times 51}{7}

Hence, 21l=42×517=30621l = \dfrac{42 \times 51}{7} = 306
