The eccentricity of the hyperbola whose length of its conjugate axis is equal to half of the distance between its foci, is

Options

  1. A23\dfrac{2}{\sqrt{3}}
  2. B3\sqrt{3}
  3. C43\dfrac{4}{3}
  4. D43\dfrac{4}{\sqrt{3}}

Correct answer

A. 23\dfrac{2}{\sqrt{3}}

Step-by-step solution

For any standard hyperbola we know that

eccentricity, e=1+b2a2e = \sqrt{1 + \dfrac{{b}^{2}}{{a}^{2}}}, conjugate axis =2b= 2b and distance between the foci =2ae= 2ae.

Given, 2b=12(2ae)2b = \dfrac{1}{2}\left(2ae\right).

⇒⇒ ba=e2\dfrac{b}{a} = \dfrac{e}{2}

Now, e=1+b2a2=1+e24e = \sqrt{1 + \dfrac{{b}^{2}}{{a}^{2}}} = \sqrt{1 + \dfrac{{e}^{2}}{4}}

⇒e2=1+e24⇒ {e}^{2} = 1 + \dfrac{{e}^{2}}{4}

⇒34e2=1⇒ \dfrac{3}{4}{e}^{2} = 1

⇒e2=43⇒ {e}^{2} = \dfrac{4}{3}

⇒e=23⇒ e = \dfrac{2}{\sqrt{3}}
