If the transverse and conjugate axes of hyperbola are equal, then its eccentricity is

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

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\sqrt{2}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given that, transverse and conjugate axis of hyperbola are equal. \(C D \rightarrow\) transverse axis \(A B \rightarrow\) conjugate axis \[ \Rightarrow \quad 2 b=2 a \Rightarrow a=b \] Using equation of hyperbola \(\frac{x^2}{a^2}-\frac{y^2}{b^2}=1\)…
