The correct answer is: 51

Given,

Ellipse x2a2+y2b2=1

And its focii ±5, 0 and its latusrectum 2b2a=50

So, ae=5 and b2=52a2

Now, using the formula eccentricity we get,

b2=a21e2=52a2

a1e2=522 as a0

5e1e2=522

22e2=e

2e2+e2=0

2e2+2ee2=0

2ee+211+2=0

e+22e1=0

e2; e=12

a=52 and b=5

Now, finding eccentricity of hyperbola,

x2b2y2a2b2=1 

We know that formula of eccentricity of hyperbola is given by, B2=A2eH2-1 where A2=b2 & B2=a2b2

a2b2=b2eH21

a2=eH21

50=eH21

eH2=51
