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

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\frac{2}{3}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Equation of hyperbola is \(x^2-2 y^2=2\) \(\Rightarrow \quad \frac{x^2}{2}-\frac{y^2}{1}=1\) Here, \(a^2=2, b^2=1\) Equation of asymptotes to the hyperbola \(\frac{x^2}{a^2}-\frac{y^2}{b^2}=1 \text { is } \frac{x^2}{a^2}-\frac{y^2}{b^2}=0\)…
