Correct answer: B
- Find the eccentricity of the ellipse
The ellipse is Here, So, The eccentricity of an ellipse is
- Find the eccentricity of the hyperbola
The hyperbola is Here, For a hyperbola,
- Use the point on the ellipse
Given that lies on the ellipse Substitute Then
- Compare with the options
Thus, So the correct option is B.
