  1. A \(\frac{2}{{\sqrt 3 }}\;\)
  2. B \(\sqrt 3 \)
  3. C \(\frac{4}{3}\)
  4. D \(\frac{4}{{\sqrt 3 }}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\frac{2}{{\sqrt 3 }}\;\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

We have \(\frac{2 b^{2}}{a}=8\) and \(2 b=\frac{1}{2}(2 a e)\) \(\therefore \frac{2}{a}\left(\frac{a e}{2}\right)^{2}=8\) \(a e^{2}=16--(1)\) Now \(\frac{2 b^{2}}{a}=8\) \(b^{2}=4 a\) \(a^{2}\left(e^{2}-1\right)=4 a\) \(a e^{2}-a=4\) Substitute the value of \(a e^{2}=16\) in eq…
