Q)

A submarine on the surface of the ocean, is on a course parallel to and 60 Km from the shore line as shown in the figure. There are two transmitters, X and Y located 200 Km from each other on the shore line. The submarine uses the signals to figure out that its 50 Km closer to station Y than to X. Find the distance between the submarine to each of the stations.

Hint: If dx and dy are the distances from the sub to X and Y and dxdy=50, then the ship must be on a hyperbola with foci at X and Y.

(A)dx=134,dy=84(B)dx=142.6,dy=92.6(C)dx=182.6,dy=132.6(D)dx=132.4,dy=82.4
