Correct answer
A. 8
Step-by-step solution
We have equation of the director circle of hyperbola aligned & x^2 a^2 - y^2 b^2 =1 is x^2+y^2=a^2-b^2 & a^2-b^2=16 aligned We have the perpendicular distance from centre (0,0) of hyperbola to its latus rectum is ae. aligned & ae = c = 34 c ^2=34 & b ^2+ a ^2= c ^2=34 aligned solving equations (i) and (ii) we get a=5 & b=3 a+b=5+3=8 .
