Let e1 and e2 be the eccentricities of the ellipse,

Question:

Let $e_{1}$ and $e_{2}$ be the eccentricities of the ellipse,

$\frac{x^{2}}{25}+\frac{y^{2}}{b^{2}}=1(b<5)$ and the hyperbola, $\frac{x^{2}}{16}-\frac{y^{2}}{b^{2}}=1$

respectively satisfying $e_{1} e_{2}=1$. If $\alpha$ and $\beta$ are the distances between the foci of the ellipse and the foci of the hyperbola respectively, then the ordered pair $(\alpha, \beta)$ is equal to :

  1. (1) $(8,12)$

  2. (2) $\left(\frac{20}{3}, 12\right)$

  3. (3) $\left(\frac{24}{5}, 10\right)$

  4. (4) $(8,10)$


Correct Option: , 4

Solution:

Equation of ellipse is $\frac{x^{2}}{25}+\frac{y^{2}}{b^{2}}=1$

Then, $e_{1}=\sqrt{1-\frac{b^{2}}{25}}$
