Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Here, equation of ellipse
\[
\begin{aligned}
& \frac{x^2}{4}+\frac{y^2}{1}=1 \\
& \Rightarrow \quad e^2=1-\frac{b^2}{a^2}=1-\frac{1}{4}=\frac{3}{4} \\
& \therefore \quad e=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \text { and focus }(\pm a e, 0) \\
& =(\pm \sqrt{3}, 0) \\
&
\end{aligned}
\]
For hyperbola \(\frac{x^2}{a^2}-\frac{y^2}{b^2}=1\), \(e_1^2=1+\frac{b^2}{a^2}\) where, \(e_1^2=\frac{1}{e^2}=\frac{4}{3}\)
\[
\Rightarrow \quad 1+\frac{b^2}{a^2}=\frac{4}{3} \Rightarrow \frac{b^2}{a^2}=\frac{1}{3}
\]
and hyperbola passes through \((\pm \sqrt{3}, 0)\). Now, \(\quad \frac{3}{a^2}=1 \Rightarrow a^2=3\)
From Eqs. (i) and (ii), we get \(b^2=1\)
\(\therefore\) Equation of hyperbola is
\[
\frac{x^2}{3}-\frac{y^2}{1}=1
\]
Focus is \((\pm a e, 0)\).
Now, \(\quad\left(\pm \sqrt{3} \cdot \frac{2}{\sqrt{3}}, 0\right) \Rightarrow(\pm 2,0)\)
Hence, both options (b) and (d) are correct.

A dense collection of equal number of electrons and positive ions is called neutral plasma. Certain solids containing fixed positive ions surrounded by free electrons can be treated as neutral plasma. Let \(N\) be the number density of free electrons, each of mass \(m\). When the electrons are subjected to an electric field, they are displaced relatively away from the heavy positive ions.If the electric field becomes zero, the electrons being to oscillate about the positive ions with a natural angular frequency \(\omega_p\), which is called the plasma frequency. To sustain the oscillations, a time varying electric field needs to be applied that has an angular frequency \(\omega\), where a part of the energy is absorbed and a part of it is reflected. As \(\omega\) approaches \(\omega_p\), all the free electrons are set to resonance together and all the energy is reflected. This is the explanation of high reflectivity of metals.

- Paragraph:
Modern trains are based on Maglev technology in which trains are magnetically leviated, which runs its EDS Maglev system.
There are coils on both sides of wheels. Due to motion of train, current induces in the coil of track which levitate it. This is in accordance with Lenz's law. If trains lower down then due to Lenz's law a repulsive force increases due to which train gets uplifted and if it goes much high then there is a net downward force disc to gravity. The advantage of Maglev train is that there is no friction between the train and the track, thereby reducing power consumption and enabling the train to attain very high speeds.
Disadvantage of Maglev train is that as it slows down the electromagnetic forces decreases and it becomes difficult to keep it leviated and as it moves forward according to Lenz law, there is an electromagnetic drag force.
