Question

The angle between the generator and the central axis of a double-napped cone is 60°. A plane intersecting the cone makes an angle of 50° with the central axis. Which conic section is formed?

circle

ellipse

hyperbola

parabola

Answer 1

c on edge

Explanation:

Answer 2

hyperbola

Explanation:

given data

double-napped cone = 60°

plane intersecting cone angle = 50°

solution

conic section is formed hyperbola because here plane intersecting the cone makes an angle of 50° is less than angle b/w generator and central axis of 50°

so correct answer is hyperbola
