MCQ
A hyperbola has its centre at the origin, passes through the point $(4, 2)$ and has transverse axis of length $4$ along the $x -$ axis. Then the eccentricity of the hyperbola is
  • $\frac {2}{\sqrt 3}$
  • B
    $\frac {3}{2}$
  • C
    $\sqrt 3$
  • D
    $2$

Answer

Correct option: A.
$\frac {2}{\sqrt 3}$
a
Given hyperbolo is

$\frac{{{x^2}}}{4} - \frac{{{y^2}}}{{{b^2}}} = 1$

Satisfying the point $\left( {4,2} \right)$

$ \Rightarrow {b^2} = \frac{4}{3}$

$ \Rightarrow e = \frac{2}{{\sqrt 3 }}$
