    Equation of the latus rectum of the hyperbola\[{{(10x-5)}^{2}}+{{(10y-2)}^{2}}=9{{(3x+4y-7)}^{2}}\] is

    A) \[y-\frac{1}{5}=-\frac{3}{4}\left( x-\frac{1}{2} \right)\]

    B) \[x-\frac{1}{5}=-\frac{3}{4}\left( y-\frac{1}{2} \right)\]

    C) \[y+\frac{1}{5}=-\frac{3}{4}\left( x+\frac{1}{2} \right)\]

    D) \[x+\frac{1}{5}=-\frac{3}{4}\left( y+\frac{1}{2} \right)\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    [a] Given, hyperbola is \[{{(10x-5)}^{2}}+{{(10y-2)}^{2}}=9{{(3x+4y-7)}^{2}}\] \[\Rightarrow {{\left( x-\frac{1}{2} \right)}^{2}}+{{\left( y-\frac{1}{5} \right)}^{2}}=\frac{9}{4}{{\left( \frac{3x+4y-7}{5} \right)}^{2}}\] \[\Rightarrow \] Given curve is a hyperbola where focus is \[\left( \frac{1}{2},\frac{1}{5} \right)\] and directrix is \[3x+4y-7=0.\]Latus Rectum is a line passing through the focus and parallel to the directrix. \[\Rightarrow \]Eq. of the latus rectum is \[y-\frac{1}{5}=-\frac{3}{4}\left( x-\frac{1}{2} \right).\]
