Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) 50

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Hyperbola : \(\frac{x^2}{16}-\frac{y^2}{9}=1 \Rightarrow e_1=\sqrt{1+\frac{9}{16}}=\frac{5}{4}\) Conjugate hyperbola : \(\frac{x^2}{9}-\frac{y^2}{16}=1 \Rightarrow e_2=\sqrt{1+\frac{16}{9}}=\frac{5}{3}\) \(\Rightarrow e_2 \gt e_1\) \(\Rightarrow\) Area of quadrilateral…
