    Which of the statement in the following is false in respect of the conic\[{{x}^{2}}-3{{y}^{2}}-4x-6y-11=0\]

    A)  length of the latus rectum is \[4/\sqrt{3}\]

    B)  asymptotes, intersect at right angles

    C)  the eccentricity of the conic is \[2/\sqrt{3}\]

    D)  centre of the conic is \[(2,-1)\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

     The conic is \[{{x}^{2}}-3{{y}^{2}}-4x-6y-11=0\Rightarrow \] \[{{x}^{2}}-4x+4-3({{y}^{2}}-2y+1)-4+3-11=0\] i.e., \[{{(x-2)}^{2}}-3{{(y-1)}^{2}}=12\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[\frac{{{(x-2)}^{2}}}{12}-\frac{{{(y-1)}^{2}}}{4}=1\] \[\therefore \]  \[a=2\sqrt{3},\,b=2\Rightarrow a\ne b\] \[\therefore \] The asymptotes do not intersect at right angles.
