    The length of transverse axis of the hyperbola \[3{{x}^{2}}-4{{y}^{2}}=32\]is:

    A) \[\frac{8\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{3}}\]                      

    B)  \[\frac{16\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{3}}\]  

    C)         \[\frac{3}{32}\]               

    D)         \[\frac{64}{3}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Key Idea: If the equation of hyperbola is\[\frac{{{x}^{2}}}{{{a}^{2}}}-\frac{{{y}^{2}}}{{{b}^{2}}}=1,\] then length of the transverse axis is\[2a.\] The given equation can be written as \[\frac{{{x}^{2}}}{32/3}-\frac{{{y}^{2}}}{8}=1.\] Here \[{{a}^{2}}=32/3,{{b}^{2}}=8\] \[\therefore \] The length of transverse axis                              \[=2a\] \[=2\sqrt{\frac{32}{3}}=8\sqrt{\frac{2}{3}}\]
