C Correct answer
Explanation

Using Definition of hyperbola
$PS^2=e^2\cdot PM^2$
$(x-1)^2+(y+1)^2=2\left(\cfrac{x-y+1}{\sqrt{2}}\right)^2$
$(x^2+y^2-2x+2y+2)=(x^2+y^2+1-2xy+2x-2y)$
$\Rightarrow 2 xy - 4 x + 4y + 1 = 0$
Hence, option 'C' is correct.

A Correct answer
Explanation

Using the definition of a hyperbola (distance from focus = e * distance from directrix), the equation is (x-1)^2 + (y-2)^2 = 3 * (2x+y-1)^2 / (2^2 + 1^2). Expanding this yields the provided equation.

Eccentricity of the hyperbola satisfying the differential equation $2xy\dfrac{dy}{dx}=x^2+y^2$ and passing through $(2,1)$ is

  1. $\sqrt2$
  2. $2\sqrt2$
  3. $3\sqrt2$
  4. $5\sqrt2$

A Correct answer
Explanation

Solving the differential equation 2xy dy/dx = x^2 + y^2 leads to the hyperbola x^2 - y^2 = c. Passing through (2, 1) gives 4 - 1 = c, so c = 3. The hyperbola is x^2 - y^2 = 3. For a rectangular hyperbola, e = sqrt(2).

The ecentricity of the hyperbola passing through the origin and whose asymptotes are given by straight lines $y=3x-1$ and $x+3y=3$, is

  1. $\sqrt{2}$
  2. $3$
  3. $2\sqrt{2}$
  4. $\dfrac{3}{\sqrt{2}}$
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

The asymptotes are 3x - y - 1 = 0 and x + 3y - 3 = 0. The angle between them is 90 degrees because the product of their slopes is -1 (3 * -1/3 = -1). A hyperbola with perpendicular asymptotes is a rectangular hyperbola, which has an eccentricity of sqrt(2).

A Correct answer
Explanation
Formula,

$e^2=1-\dfrac{b^2}{a^2}$

$=1-\dfrac{16}{25}$

$\therefore e=\dfrac{3}{5}$

$e _2 \times e =1$

$\Rightarrow e _2=\dfrac{5}{3}$

Equation,

$\dfrac{x^2}{a^2}-\dfrac{y^2}{b^2}=1$

Given,

$\Rightarrow (3,0)$

$\dfrac{3^2}{a^2}=1$

$\Rightarrow a^2=9$

we have,

$e _2^2=1+\dfrac{b^2}{a^2}$

$\dfrac{25}{9}=1+\dfrac{b^2}{9}$

$\Rightarrow b^2=16$

$\dfrac{x^2}{9}-\dfrac{y^2}{16}=1$

Hence the required equation.

The hyperbola $\displaystyle \frac{x^{2}}{a^{2}} - \frac{y^{2}}{b^{2}}=1$ passes through the point $\displaystyle \left ( 2, : 3 \right )$ and has the eccentricity $2$. Then the transverse axis of the hyperbola has the length

  1. $1$
  2. $3$
  3. $2$
  4. $4$
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

Given hyperbola is,  $\displaystyle \frac{x^{2}}{a^{2}} - \frac{y^{2}}{b^{2}}=1$
It passes through $(2,3)$
$\cfrac{4}{a^{2}} - \cfrac{9}{b^{2}}=1 ..(1)$
Also eccentricity is $2$,
$\Rightarrow e^2=1+\cfrac{b^2}{a^2}=4\Rightarrow \cfrac{b^2}{a^2}=3   ..(2)$
Solving (1) and (2) we get $a=1, b=\sqrt{3}$
Hence, length of transverse axis is $=2a=2$

If in a hyperbola the eccentricity is $\displaystyle \sqrt{3}$, and the distance between the foci is $9$ then the equation of the hyperbola in the standard form is

  1. $\displaystyle \dfrac{x^{2}}{\left ( \dfrac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \right )^{2}} - \dfrac{y^{2}}{\left ( \sqrt{\dfrac{3}{2}} \right )^{2}} = 1$
  2. $\displaystyle \dfrac{x^{2}}{\left ( \dfrac{3 \sqrt{3}}{2} \right )^{2}} - \dfrac{y^{2}}{\left ( \dfrac{3\sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{2}} \right )^{2}} = 1$
  3. $\displaystyle \dfrac{x^{2}}{\left ( \dfrac{3\sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{2}} \right )^{2}} - \dfrac{y^{2}}{\left ( \dfrac{3\sqrt{2}}{2} \right )^{2}} = 1$

  4. none of these

B Correct answer
Explanation

Given eccentricity of the hyperbola $e=\sqrt{3}$
and distance between focii is 9. $\Rightarrow 2ae=9\Rightarrow a=\cfrac{3\sqrt{3}}{2}$
also $b^2=a^2(e^2-1)=\cfrac{27}{4}(3-1)=\cfrac{27}{2}\Rightarrow b=\cfrac{3\sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{2}}$
Hence equation of required hyperbola is,
$\cfrac{x^2}{\left(\cfrac{3\sqrt{3}}{2}\right )^2}-\cfrac{y^2}{\left (\cfrac{3\sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{2}}\right )^2}=1$
Hence, option 'B' is correct.
