JEE Main 3 September 2020, Shift 2, Maths Q65

Question 65 of 75 in this shift, Maths question 15 of 25.

Let e1e_1 and e2e_2 be the eccentricities of the ellipse, x225+y2b2=1\frac{x^2}{25} + \frac{y^2}{b^2} = 1 (b<5)(b < 5) and the hyperbola, x216−y2b2=1\frac{x^2}{16} - \frac{y^2}{b^2} = 1 respectively satisfying e1e2=1e_1 e_2 = 1. If α\alpha and β\beta are the distances between the foci of the ellipse and the foci of the hyperbola respectively, then the ordered pair (α,β)(\alpha, \beta) is equal to :
