    A)            \[{{x}^{2}}+{{y}^{2}}=16\]         

    B)            \[{{x}^{2}}+{{y}^{2}}=4\]

    C)            \[{{x}^{2}}+{{y}^{2}}=20\]         

    D)            \[{{x}^{2}}+{{y}^{2}}=12\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

               Equation of ?director-circle? of hyperbola is\[{{x}^{2}}+{{y}^{2}}={{a}^{2}}-{{b}^{2}}\].  Here \[{{a}^{2}}=16,\,{{b}^{2}}=4\]            \[\therefore \] \[{{x}^{2}}+{{y}^{2}}=\]12 is the required ?director circle?.
