Correct answer

B. 2

Step-by-step solution

The line 2x+y−1=02 x+y-1=0 is a tangent to the hyperbola x2a2−y2b2=1\frac{x^2}{a^2}-\frac{y^2}{b^2}=1 and also passes through the point of intersection of directrix and the positive xx-axis Equation of direction x=ae∴x=\frac{a}{e}\therefore Point (ae,0)\left(\frac{a}{e}, 0\right) passes through 2x+y=1⇒2(ae)+0=1⇒2a=e⇒2a2=ae2 x+y=1\Rightarrow \quad 2\left(\frac{a}{e}\right)+0=1\Rightarrow \quad 2 a=e\Rightarrow \quad 2 a^2=a e We know, (ae)2=a2+b2∴4a4=a2+b2(a e)^2=a^2+b^2\therefore \quad 4 a^4=a^2+b^2 Equation of tangent of x2a2−y2b2=1\frac{x^2}{a^2}-\frac{y^2}{b^2}=1 is y=mx±a2m2−b2∴a2(2)2−b2=1y=m x \pm \sqrt{a^2 m^2-b^2}\therefore \quad a^2(2)^2-b^2=1 \Rightarrow \quad 4 a²-b²=1 From Eqs. (i) and (ii), we get 4a4=a2+4a2−1⇒4a4−5a2+1=0(4a2−1)(a2−1)=0⇒a2=1,14\Rightarrowa=1,12∴e=2ae=2(1)=2\begin{array}{ll}& 4 a⁴=a²+4 a²-1 \\ \Rightarrow & 4 a⁴-5 a²+1=0 \\ & \left(4 a²-1\right)\left(a^2-1\right)=0 \\ \Rightarrow & a²=1, \frac{1}{4} \Rightarrowa=1, \frac{1}{2}\\ \therefore & e=2 a \\ & e=2(1)=2 \end{array}
