(B) For the hyperbola $\frac{x^2}{144} - \frac{y^2}{81} = \frac{1}{25}$,we rewrite it as $\frac{x^2}{144/25} - \frac{y^2}{81/25} = 1$.Here,$a^2 = \frac{144}{25}$ and $b_H^2 = \frac{81}{25}$.The eccentricity $e_H$ is given by $e_H^2 = 1 + \frac{b_H^2}{a^2} = 1 + \frac{81/25}{144/25} = 1 + \frac{81}{144} = \frac{225}{144}$.So,$e_H = \frac{15}{12} = \frac{5}{4}$.The foci are $(\pm ae_H, 0) = (\pm \frac{12}{5} 	imes \frac{5}{4}, 0) = (\pm 3, 0)$.For the ellipse $\frac{x^2}{16} + \frac{y^2}{b^2} = 1$,the foci are $(\pm ae_E, 0)$ where $a^2 = 16$.Since the foci coincide,$ae_E = 3$,so $4e_E = 3$,which means $e_E = \frac{3}{4}$.Using $b^2 = a^2(1 - e_E^2)$,we get $b^2 = 16(1 - (\frac{3}{4})^2) = 16(1 - \frac{9}{16}) = 16(\frac{7}{16}) = 7$.

The foci of the ellipse $\frac{x^2}{16} + \frac{y^2}{b^2} = 1$ and the hyperbola $\frac{x^2}{144} - \frac{y^2}{81} = \frac{1}{25}$ coincide. Then the value of $b^2$ is
