JEE Main & Advanced Mathematics Conic Sections Question Bank Hyperbola

  • question_answer
    If \[(0,\ \pm 4)\] and \[(0,\ \pm 2)\] be the foci and vertices of a hyperbola, then its equation is

    A)            \[\frac{{{x}^{2}}}{4}-\frac{{{y}^{2}}}{12}=1\]                              

    B)            \[\frac{{{x}^{2}}}{12}-\frac{{{y}^{2}}}{4}=1\]

    C)            \[\frac{{{y}^{2}}}{4}-\frac{{{x}^{2}}}{12}=1\]                              

    D)            \[\frac{{{y}^{2}}}{12}-\frac{{{x}^{2}}}{4}=1\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

                       Foci \[(0,\pm 4)\]\[\equiv (0,\pm \,be)\]Þ \[be=4\] Vertices \[(0,\pm 2)\equiv (0,\pm b)\Rightarrow b=2\Rightarrow a=2\sqrt{3}\] Hence equation is \[\frac{-{{x}^{2}}}{{{(2\sqrt{3})}^{2}}}+\frac{{{y}^{2}}}{{{(2)}^{2}}}=1\]or\[\frac{{{y}^{2}}}{4}-\frac{{{x}^{2}}}{12}=1\].
