     The equation to the hyperbola having its eccentricity 2 and the distance between its foci is 8         [Karnataka CET 2005]

    A)            \[\frac{{{x}^{2}}}{12}-\frac{{{y}^{2}}}{4}=1\]                              

    B)            \[\frac{{{x}^{2}}}{4}-\frac{{{y}^{2}}}{12}=1\]

    C)            \[\frac{{{x}^{2}}}{8}-\frac{{{y}^{2}}}{2}=1\]                                

    D)            \[\frac{{{x}^{2}}}{16}-\frac{{{y}^{2}}}{9}=1\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

                      Distance between foci = 8                    \ \[2ae=8\]also\[e=2\]; \ \[2a=4\]                    Þ \[a=2\] Þ \[{{a}^{2}}=4\]; \\[{{b}^{2}}=4(4-1)=12\]                    \ Equation of hyperbola is \[\frac{{{x}^{2}}}{4}-\frac{{{y}^{2}}}{12}=1\].
