In a hyperbola, if the length of transverse axis is twice that of the conjugate axis, then the distance between its directrices is..... units.

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

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\frac{8 b}{\sqrt{5}}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given, in a hyperbola, the length of transverse axis is twice that of the conjugate axis. The equation of standard hyperbola is \(\frac{x^2}{a^2}-\frac{y^2}{b^2}=1\) \(\because\) Length of transverse axis \(=2 \times\) length of conjugate axis \(2 a=2 \times 2 b\)…
