Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(4 e_2\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given, hyperbola is \(16 x^2-9 y^2=1\) \(\frac{x^2}{\frac{1}{16}}-\frac{y^2}{\frac{1}{9}}=1\) \(\Rightarrow \quad \frac{x^2}{\left(\frac{1}{4}\right)^2}-\frac{y^2}{\left(\frac{1}{3}\right)^2}=1\) We know that Eccentricity of a hyperbola, \(e_1^2=1+\frac{b^2}{a^2}\)…
