  • question_answer
    If (4, 0) and (?4, 0) be the vertices and (6, 0) and (?6, 0) be the foci of a hyperbola, then its eccentricity is

    A)            5/2 

    B)            2

    C)            3/2 

    D)            \[\sqrt{2}\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

                       Vertices \[(\pm 4,\,0)\equiv (\pm a,\,0)\] Þ \[a=4\]                    Foci \[(\pm 6,\,0)\equiv (\pm ae,\,0)\] Þ \[e=\frac{6}{4}=\frac{3}{2}\].
