Solution

If $\frac{x^2}{a^2}+\frac{y^2}{b^2}=1$ and $\frac{x^2}{c^2}+\frac{y^2}{d^2}=1$ are orthogonal.
Then 
$a^2-b^2=c^2-d^2$

Similarly 
If $\frac{x^2}{a^2}+\frac{y^2}{b^2}=1$ and $x^2-y^2=c^2$ are orthogonal.
It means
$\frac{x^2}{a^2}+\frac{y^2}{b^2}=1$ and $\frac{x^2}{c^2}+\frac{y^2}{-c^2}=1$ are orthogonal

Then 
$a^2-b^2=c^2-(-c^2)$
$a^2-b^2=2c^2$

If the line $a^2 x + ay +1=0$, for some real number $a$, is normal to the curve $xy=1$ then





Go to Discussion

MCA NIMCET Previous Year PYQ MCA NIMCET NIMCET 2024 PYQ

Solution

Problem:

The line \[ a^2x + ay + 1 = 0 \] is normal to the curve \[ xy = 1 \]. Find possible values of \( a \in \mathbb{R} \).

Step 1: Slope of Line

Rewrite: \[ y = -a x - \frac{1}{a} \] → slope = \( -a \)

Step 2: Curve Derivative

\[ xy = 1 \Rightarrow \frac{dy}{dx} = -\frac{y}{x} \] Slope of normal = \( \frac{x}{y} \)

Match Slopes

\[ -a = \frac{x}{y} \Rightarrow x = -a y \]

Plug into Curve

\[ xy = 1 \Rightarrow (-a y)(y) = 1 \Rightarrow y^2 = -\frac{1}{a} \]

For real \( y \), we need \( a < 0 \)

✅ Final Answer:

\[ \boxed{a < 0} \]

Go to Discussion

MCA NIMCET Previous Year PYQ MCA NIMCET NIMCET 2010 PYQ

Solution

Given hyperbola: 27x² – 9y² = 24 Divide both sides by 24: x²/(24/27) – y²/(24/9) = 1 ⇒ x²/(8/9) – y²/(8/3) = 1 Here: a² = 8/9, b² = 8/3 For hyperbola x²/a² – y²/b² = 1, angle between asymptotes = 2 tan⁻¹(b/a) Compute b/a: b/a = √( (8/3) / (8/9) ) = √3 Angle = 2 tan⁻¹(√3) = 2 × 60° = 120°

Find the area of the triangle formed in the right half-plane by the lines $x-y=0$ and $x+y=0$, and a tangent to the hyperbola $x^2-y^2=a^2$, where $a$ is a non-zero number.





Go to Discussion

MCA NIMCET Previous Year PYQ MCA NIMCET NIMCET 2026 PYQ

Solution

The lines $x-y=0$ and $x+y=0$ are the asymptotes of the hyperbola 
$x^2-y^2=a^2$. 
For a hyperbola, the area of the triangle formed by any tangent and its two asymptotes is constant. 
Area $=a^2$

Solution

Finding Foci of a Conic

Given Equation: \( x^2 + 2x - 4y^2 + 8y - 7 = 0 \)

Step 1: Complete the square

⇒ \( (x + 1)^2 - 4(y - 1)^2 = 4 \)

Rewriting: \( \frac{(x + 1)^2}{4} - \frac{(y - 1)^2}{1} = 1 \)

This is a horizontal hyperbola with:

  • Center: \( (-1, 1) \)
  • \( a^2 = 4 \), \( b^2 = 1 \)
  • \( c = \sqrt{a^2 + b^2} = \sqrt{5} \)

✅ Foci: \( (-1 \pm \sqrt{5},\ 1) \)

The foci of the ellipse $\dfrac{x^2}{16} + \dfrac{y^2}{b^2} = 1$ and the hyperbola $\dfrac{x^2}{144} - \dfrac{y^2}{81} = \dfrac{1}{25}$ coincide. Then the value of $b^2$ is





Go to Discussion

MCA NIMCET Previous Year PYQ MCA NIMCET NIMCET 2016 PYQ

Solution

Given ellipse: $\dfrac{x^2}{16} + \dfrac{y^2}{b^2} = 1$ ...(i)
Given hyperbola: $\dfrac{x^2}{144} - \dfrac{y^2}{81} = \dfrac{1}{25}$ ...(ii)
**For Hyperbola:**
Rewriting (ii) in standard form:
$\dfrac{x^2}{\dfrac{144}{25}} - \dfrac{y^2}{\dfrac{81}{25}} = 1$
Here, $a^2 = \dfrac{144}{25}$ and $b^2 = \dfrac{81}{25}$
For hyperbola, $c^2 = a^2 + b^2$
$\Rightarrow c^2 = \dfrac{144}{25} + \dfrac{81}{25} = \dfrac{225}{25} = 9$
$\therefore c = 3$
So, foci of hyperbola $= (\pm 3,\ 0)$
**For Ellipse:**
Here, $a^2 = 16$
For ellipse, $c^2 = a^2 - b^2$
$\Rightarrow c^2 = 16 - b^2$
Since foci of ellipse and hyperbola coincide:
$\Rightarrow 16 - b^2 = 9$
$\Rightarrow b^2 = 16 - 9$
$\therefore \boxed{b^2 = 7}$
