Let `P(x, y)` is a variable point such that `|sqrt((x-1)^2+(y-2)^2)-sqrt((x-5)^2+(y-5)^2)|=3` , which represents hyperbola. The eccentricity e' of the corresponding conjugate hyperbola is (A) `5/3` (B) `4/3` (C) `5/4` (D) `3/sqrt7`

A

`5//3`

B

`4//3`

C

`5//4`

D

`3//sqrt7`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C

2a = 3
Distance between the foci (1, 2) and (5, 5) is 5. Therefore,
2ae = 5
`"or "e=(5)/(3)`
Now, if e' eccentricity of the corresponding conjugate hyperbola, then
`(1)/(e^(2))+(1)/(e'^(2))=1`
`"or "e'=(5)/(4)`
