Correct answer: C

  1. Given ellipse

    x2a2+y2b2=1,a>b\frac{x^2}{a^2}+\frac{y^2}{b^2}=1, \qquad a>ba2x2​+b2y2​=1,a>b

    Its eccentricity is

    e=12e=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}e=2​1​

    For an ellipse,

    e2=1−b2a2e^2=1-\frac{b^2}{a^2}e2=1−a2b2​

    So,

    12=1−b2a2\frac{1}{2}=1-\frac{b^2}{a^2}21​=1−a2b2​

    which gives

    b2a2=12\frac{b^2}{a^2}=\frac{1}{2}a2b2​=21​

    Hence,

    b2=a22b^2=\frac{a^2}{2}b2=2a2​

  2. Use latus rectum length

    For the ellipse, length of latus rectum is

    2b2a\frac{2b^2}{a}a2b2​

    Given,

    2b2a=14\frac{2b^2}{a}=\sqrt{14}a2b2​=14​

    Substitute b2=a22b^2=\frac{a^2}{2}b2=2a2​:

    2⋅a22a=14\frac{2\cdot \frac{a^2}{2}}{a}=\sqrt{14}a2⋅2a2​​=14​

    a=14a=\sqrt{14}a=14​

    Therefore,

    a2=14,b2=142=7a^2=14, \qquad b^2=\frac{14}{2}=7a2=14,b2=214​=7

  3. Now consider the hyperbola

    x2a2−y2b2=1\frac{x^2}{a^2}-\frac{y^2}{b^2}=1a2x2​−b2y2​=1

    For this hyperbola, eccentricity EEE satisfies

    E2=1+b2a2E^2=1+\frac{b^2}{a^2}E2=1+a2b2​

    Using a2=14a^2=14a2=14 and b2=7b^2=7b2=7:

    E2=1+714=1+12=32E^2=1+\frac{7}{14}=1+\frac{1}{2}=\frac{3}{2}E2=1+147​=1+21​=23​

  4. Check options

    32\frac{3}{2}23​

    corresponds to Option C.


Final Answer: 32\boxed{\frac{3}{2}}23​​
