(A) \(4\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\({m_{SB}}.{m_{S'B}} = 1\) \({b^2} = {a^2}{e^2}\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,.......\left( i \right)\) \(\frac{1}{2}S'B.SB = 8\) \({a^2}{e^2} + {b^2} = 16\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,.......\left( {ii} \right)\) \({b^2} = {a^2}\left( {1 - {e^2}\,} \right)\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,.......\left( {iii} \right)\) using…
