Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) 227

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Consider the equation of the hyperbola be x2a2-y2b2=1 It is given that the centre of the hyperbola is 0,0 and its transverse axis is along x-axis and its length is 12. 2 a=12 a=6 Substitute this value in the equation of a hyperbola. x262-y2b2=1 The above equation passes…
