The correct answer is: 2710

Given equation of ellipse x216+y27=1

Now finding eccentricity =1-716=34

So, foci ±ae,0±3,0

Now, hyperbola: x214425-y2α25=1

Eccentricity will be =1+α144=112144+α

Foci ±ae,0±125·112144+α,0

Given foci coincide then 3=15144+αα=81

Hence, hyperbola is x21252-y2952=1

Length of latus rectum =2b2a=2·8125125=2710
