Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(4\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\frac{b^2}{a^2e} = \frac{3}{2}\) \(\frac{36}{a^2e} = \frac{3}{2} \Rightarrow a^2e = 24\) \(b^2 = a^2(e^2-1) \Rightarrow 36 = a^2e^2 - a^2\) \(36 = (a^2e)e - a^2 \Rightarrow 36 = 24e - a^2\) \(a^2 = 24e - 36\) Substitute \(a^2\) into \(a^2e=24\): \((24e-36)e = 24\)…
