Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(e>\frac{2}{\sqrt{3}}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given equation of hyperbola is \(\frac{x^{2}}{a^{2}}-\frac{y^{2}}{b^{2}}=1\) and \(\Delta O P Q\) is an equlateral triangle. \(P Q\) is double ordinate of the hyperbola. Let the coordinates of \(P\) and \(Q\) be \((a \sec \theta, b\) tan \(\theta)\) and \((a \sec \theta,-b\)…
