If the distance from the focus is 2 mm and the distance from the directrix is 0.5 mm then what is the name of the conic section?

If the distance from the focus is 2 mm and the distance from the directrix is 0.5 mm then what is the name of the conic section? Correct Answer Hyperbola

The eccentricity is defined as the ratio of the distance from the focus to the distance from the directrix. It is denoted as e. If the value of the eccentricity is greater than unity then the conic section is called as a hyperbola.

A group of 74 students of Class XI went on picnic. The number of students who went on picnic by each section is as follows: Section A = 15 Section B = 24 Section C = 15 Section D = 20 5 students from Section A spent as much as 4 students from Section B. 12 Section B students spent as much as 9 Section C students and 6 Section C students spent as much as 8 Section D student. If every student of a particular section spent the same amount and all the students spent Rs. 23,370 altogether, find the amount spent by each student of Section D?
Steps are given to determine the centre of curvature at a given point on a conic. Arrange the steps. Let P be the given point on the conic and F is the focus. Join P with F. Draw a line NR perpendicular to PN and cutting PF or PF-extended at R. Draw a line RO perpendicular to PR and cutting PN-extended at O which is centre of curvature. At P, draw a normal PN, cutting the axis at N.
Last year, there were three sections in a competitive exam. Out of them 33 students cleared the cut-off in Section A, 34 students cleared the cut-off in Section B and 32 students cleared the cut-off in Section C. 10 students cleared the cut-off in section A and section B, 9 cleared the cut-off in section B and section C and 8 cleared the cut-off in section A and section C. The number of students who cleared only one section was equal and was 21 for each section. How many students cleared all the three sections?

Eight north Indian Ocean countries, namely, Bangladesh, India, the Maldives, Myanmar, Oman, Pakistan, Sri Lanka and Thailand, were asked to contribute names so that a combined list could be compiled. Each country gave eight names and a combined list of 64 names was prepared. This list is currently in use, and all cyclones arising in the north Indian Ocean are named from this list, with one name from each country being used in turn. Almost 38 or 39 names from the list have been used up, but since many cyclones dissipate long before they hit land, their names rarely figure in the papers or other media. The names that people do know about, and remember are, naturally, those that were most destructive ones, or very recent. Aila, in 2009 is remembered with a shudder for the enormous destruction it caused in West Bengal and Bangladesh; Phaillin, also for the damage it caused when it hit the Odisha coast in 2013. Two harmless cyclones, which also might remain in peoples memory, are the more recent ones of 2014 — Hudhud, which threatened the east coast of India and Nilofar, which was expected to, but did not, devastate the western coast. The names in the cyclone list are usually words one associates with storms; words which mean water or wind or lightning in various national languages. Sometimes they are names of other things — birds or flowers or precious stones. The name Aila, contributed by the Maldives means fire, the name Phaillin from Thailand means sapphire, the name Hudhud from Oman is the name of a bird, probably the hoopoe, and the name Nilofar, given by Pakistan, is the Urdu name of the lotus or water lily. The eight names suggested by India, and which are in the list of 64, are Agni, Akaash, Bijli, Jal, Leher, Megh, Sagar and Vayu, meaning in that order, fire, sky, lightning, water, wave, cloud, sea and wind. Five of these names (that is, up to Leher) have been used so far.
For the next cyclone if it is the turn of an Indian name to be chosen, then what will be that name?
