    The latus rectum of the hyperbola \[9{{x}^{2}}-16{{y}^{2}}-18x-32y-151=0\] is [MP PET 1996]

    A)            \[\frac{9}{4}\]                           

    B)            9

    C)            \[\frac{3}{2}\]                           

    D)            \[\frac{9}{2}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

               \[9{{x}^{2}}-18x+9-16{{y}^{2}}-32y-16=144\]                   \[\Rightarrow \frac{{{(x-1)}^{2}}}{16}-\frac{{{(y+1)}^{2}}}{9}=1\]                    Þ Latus rectum \[=\frac{2{{b}^{2}}}{a}=\frac{2\times 9}{4}=\frac{9}{2}\].
