    If\[{{e}_{1}}\]is the eccentricity of the ellipse \[\frac{{{x}^{2}}}{16}+\frac{{{y}^{2}}}{7}=1\]and\[{{e}_{2}}\]is the eccentricity of the hyperbola\[\frac{{{x}^{2}}}{9}-\frac{{{y}^{2}}}{7}=1,\]then\[{{e}_{1}}+{{e}_{2}}\]is equal to

    A)  \[\frac{16}{7}\]                               

    B)  \[\frac{25}{4}\]

    C)  \[\frac{25}{12}\]                             

    D)         \[\frac{16}{9}\]

    E)  \[\frac{23}{16}\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Given, ellipse \[\frac{{{x}^{2}}}{16}+\frac{{{y}^{2}}}{7}=1\] \[\therefore \]  \[{{e}_{1}}=\sqrt{1-\frac{7}{16}}=\frac{3}{4}\] and hyperbola \[\frac{{{x}^{2}}}{9}-\frac{{{y}^{2}}}{7}=1\] \[\therefore \]  \[{{e}_{2}}=\sqrt{1+\frac{7}{9}}=\frac{4}{3}\]     Now,   \[{{e}_{1}}+{{e}_{2}}=\frac{3}{4}+\frac{4}{3}=\frac{25}{12}\]
