If `a`hyperbola passes through the foci of the ellipse `(x^2)/(25)+(y^2)/(16)=1`. Its transverse and conjugate axes coincide respectively with themajor and minor axes of the ellipse and if the product of eccentricities ofhyperbola and ellipse is 1 thenthe equation ofa. hyperbola is `(x^2)/9-(y^2)/(16)=1`b. the equation of hyperbola is `(x^2)/9-(y^2)/(25)=1`c. focus of hyperbola is (5, 0)d. focusof hyperbola is `(5sqrt(3),0)`

Answer» Here, equation of ellipse is,
`x^2/25+y^2/16 = 1`
So, if e is the essentricity of ellipse, then,
`e^2 = 1-b^2/a^2 = 1-16/25 = 9/25`
`e = 3/5`
We know, foci of ellipse is (ae,0). So, focus of given ellipse will be `(3,0)`.
Now, let equation of hyperbola is,
`x^2/a^2-y^2/b^2 = 1`
Now, as hyperbola passes through the foci of the given ellipse`(3,0)`,
We can say that.,`9/a^2 - 0 = 1=>a^2=9`
Also, we are given product of eccentricity of ellipse and hyperbola is 1. If eccentricity of hyperbola is `e_h`, then,
`3/5**e_h = 1=>e_h= 5/3`
As we know, `e_h^2 = 1+b^2/a^2`
Putting, values of `e_h and a^2`, we get,`b^2 = 16`
So, equation of hyperbola is `x^2/9-y^2/16 = 1`
Now, focus of hyperbola is `(+-ae_h,0) = (+-5,0)`
That means, option B and option C are correct.
