Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\frac{7}{4}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Let the eccentricity of the first hyperbola be \(x\). Transverse axis \(2a\), conjugate axis \(2b\). \(2a = 2(2b) \implies a = 2b\) \(x^2 = 1 + \frac{b^2}{a^2} = 1 + \frac{b^2}{(2b)^2} = 1 + \frac{1}{4} = \frac{5}{4}\) Let the eccentricity of the second hyperbola be \(y\).…
