Let the hyperbola $$H: \frac{x^2}{a^2} - \frac{y^2}{b^2} = 1$$ pass through the point $$(2\sqrt{2}, -2\sqrt{2})$$. A parabola is drawn whose focus is same as the focus of H with positive abscissa and the directrix of the parabola passes through the other focus of H. If the length of the latus rectum of the parabola is $$e$$ times the length of the latus rectum of H, where $$e$$ is the eccentricity of H, then which of the following points lies on the parabola?
Given hyperbola
$$H:\frac{x^2}{a^2}-\frac{y^2}{b^2}=1$$
passing through the point
$$(2\sqrt2,-2\sqrt2)$$
Substituting the point in the hyperbola,
$$\frac{(2\sqrt2)^2}{a^2}-\frac{(-2\sqrt2)^2}{b^2}=1$$
$$\frac8{a^2}-\frac8{b^2}=1$$
$$8(b^2-a^2)=a^2b^2\qquad\cdots(1)$$
For the hyperbola,
$$e^2=1+\frac{b^2}{a^2}$$
Length of latus rectum of hyperbola is
$$L_H=\frac{2b^2}{a}$$
The foci are
$$(\pm ae,0)$$
The parabola has focus at
$$(ae,0)$$
and its directrix passes through the other focus
$$(-ae,0)$$
Hence, the directrix is
$$x=-ae$$
Therefore, the vertex is midpoint of the focus and directrix, i.e.,
$$(0,0)$$
and the distance of focus from vertex is
$$ae$$
Thus the parabola is
$$y^2=4(ae)x$$
Hence, length of latus rectum of parabola is
$$L_P=4(ae)$$
Given,
$$L_P=eL_H$$
$$4ae=e\left(\frac{2b^2}{a}\right)$$
Cancelling $$2e,$$
$$2a=\frac{b^2}{a}$$
$$b^2=2a^2\qquad\cdots(2)$$
Substituting $$b^2=2a^2$$ in (1),
$$8(2a^2-a^2)=a^2(2a^2)$$
$$8a^2=2a^4$$
$$a^2=4$$
Hence,
$$a=2,\qquad b^2=8$$
Now,
$$e^2=1+\frac{8}{4}=3$$
$$e=\sqrt3$$
Thus,
$$ae=2\sqrt3$$
Therefore, the parabola is
$$y^2=8\sqrt3\,x$$
Hence, any point satisfying
$$y^2=8\sqrt3\,x$$
lies on the parabola.
By trial and error method with options,we conclude that $$(3\sqrt{3}, -6\sqrt{2})$$ lies on the parabola
