JEE MAIN - Mathematics (2016 - 10th April Morning Slot - No. 15)

A hyperbola whose transverse axis is along the major axis of the conic, $${{{x^2}} \over 3} + {{{y^2}} \over 4} = 4$$ and has vertices at the foci of this conic. If the eccentricity of the hyperbola is $${3 \over 2},$$ then which of the following points does NOT lie on it?
(0, 2)
$$\left( {\sqrt 5 ,2\sqrt 2 } \right)$$
$$\left( {\sqrt {10} ,2\sqrt 3 } \right)$$
$$\left( {5,2\sqrt 3 } \right)$$

Explanation

$${{{x^2}} \over {12}} + {{{y^2}} \over {16}}$$ = 1

e = $$\sqrt {1 - {{12} \over {16}}} $$ = $${1 \over 2}$$

Foci (0, 2)   &   (0, $$-$$ 2)

So, transverse axis of hyperbola

= 2b = 4

$$ \Rightarrow $$ b = 2 & a2 = 12 (e2 $$-$$ 1)

$$ \Rightarrow $$   a2 = 4$$\left( {{9 \over 4} - 1} \right)$$

$$ \Rightarrow $$   a2 = 5

$$ \therefore $$    It's equation is $${{{x^2}} \over 5} - {{{y^2}} \over 4}$$ = $$-$$ 1

The point (5, 2$$\sqrt 3 $$) does not satisfy the above equation.
