Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(3 x^{2}-y^{2}=48\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Let equation of hyperbola be \[ \frac{x^{2}}{a^{2}}-\frac{y^{2}}{b^{2}}=1 \] Given, foci, \((\pm 8,0)=(\pm a e, 0)\) \(\Rightarrow \quad a e=8\) and length of latusrectum \(=\frac{2 b^{2}}{a}\) \(\therefore\) \(24=\frac{2 b^{2}}{a}\) \(\Rightarrow \quad b^{2}=12 a\)…
