- D
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: C
-
Given ellipse
Its eccentricity is
For an ellipse,
So,
which gives
Hence,
-
Use latus rectum length
For the ellipse, length of latus rectum is
Given,
Substitute :
Therefore,
-
Now consider the hyperbola
For this hyperbola, eccentricity satisfies
Using and :
-
Check options
corresponds to Option C.
