    The equation of the hyperbola in the standard from (whit transverse axis along the\[x-\]axis) having the length of the latus rectum = 9 unit and eccentricity\[=\frac{5}{4}\]is:

    A)  \[\frac{{{x}^{2}}}{16}-\frac{{{y}^{2}}}{18}=1\]                   

    B)  \[\frac{{{x}^{2}}}{36}-\frac{{{y}^{2}}}{27}=1\]

    C)  \[\frac{{{x}^{2}}}{64}-\frac{{{y}^{2}}}{36}=1\]   

    D)         \[\frac{{{x}^{2}}}{36}-\frac{{{y}^{2}}}{64}=1\]

    E)  \[\frac{{{x}^{2}}}{16}-\frac{{{y}^{2}}}{9}=1\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Length of latus rectum \[=9=\frac{2{{b}^{2}}}{a}\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[{{b}^{2}}=\frac{9a}{2}\]                                 ...(i) and       \[e=\frac{5}{4}\] \[\Rightarrow \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,1+\frac{{{b}^{2}}}{{{a}^{2}}}=\,\frac{25}{16}\] \[\therefore \]  \[1+\frac{9a}{2{{a}^{2}}}=\frac{25}{16}\]                               [using Eq.(i)] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[\frac{9}{2a}=\frac{9}{16}\]       \[\Rightarrow \]\[a=8\] On putting this value in Eq. (i), we get                 \[{{b}^{2}}=\frac{9\times 8}{2}=36\Rightarrow b=6\] \[\therefore \]Equation of hyperbola is                 \[\frac{{{x}^{2}}}{{{8}^{2}}}-\frac{{{y}^{2}}}{{{6}^{2}}}=1\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[\frac{{{x}^{2}}}{64}-\frac{{{y}^{2}}}{36}=1\]
