  1. A \(\frac{5}{3}\)
  2. B \(\frac{5}{4}\)
  3. C \(\frac{5}{2}\)
  4. D \(\frac{8}{5}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\frac{5}{4}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Eccentricity of given hyperbola \(=\frac{5}{3}\) Let, eccentricity of its conjugate hyperbola \(=e\) So, \(\frac{1}{\left(\frac{5}{3}\right)^2}+\frac{1}{e^2}=1\) \(\Rightarrow \quad \frac{9}{25}+\frac{1}{e^2}=1 \quad \Rightarrow \frac{1}{e^2}=1-\frac{9}{25}\)…
