If the eccentricity of a hyperbola is \(\sqrt{3}\); then the eccentricity of its conjugate hyperbola is :

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

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\sqrt{\frac{3}{2}}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Let \(e\) and \(e^{\prime}\) are the eccentricities of a hyperbola and its conjugate hyperbola. We know that \(\frac{1}{e^2}+\frac{1}{\left(e^{\prime}\right)^2}=1\) \(\Rightarrow \quad \frac{1}{3}+\frac{1}{\left(e^{\prime}\right)^2}=1\)…
