If the line x−1=0x-1=0 is a directrix of the hyperbola kx2−y2=6k x^{2}-y^{2}=6 , then the hyperbola passes through the point :

Multiple Choice Options

  • A (−25,6)(-2 \sqrt{5}, 6)
  • B (−5,3)(-\sqrt{5}, 3)
  • C (5,−2)(\sqrt{5},-2)
  • D (25,36)(2 \sqrt{5}, 3 \sqrt{6})

Step-by-Step Verified Solution

Given hyperbola : x26/k−y26=1{{{x^2}} \over {6/k}} - {{{y^2}} \over 6} = 1

Eccentricity =e=1+66/k=1+k= e = \sqrt {1 + {6 \over {6/k}}} = \sqrt {1 + k}

Directrices : x= ± ae⇒x= ± 6kk+1x = \, \pm \,{a \over e} \Rightarrow x = \, \pm \,{{\sqrt 6 } \over {\sqrt k \sqrt {k + 1} }}

As given : 6kk+1=1{{\sqrt 6 } \over {\sqrt k \sqrt {k + 1} }} = 1

⇒k=2\Rightarrow k = 2

Here hyperbola is x23−y26=1{{{x^2}} \over 3} - {{{y^2}} \over 6} = 1

Checking the option gives (5,−2)\left( {\sqrt 5 , - 2} \right) satisfies it.
