If e, e' be the eccentricity of two conics S=0 and S'=0 and if `e^2+e'^2=3`, then both S and S' can be

A

hyperbolas

B

ellipses

C

parabolas

D

none of these

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
For a parabola the eccentricity is `1`
`:.e^(2)+e'^(2)=1+1=2`
For an ellipse the eccentricity is less than `1`.
`:.0 lt 2 lt 1`, `0 lt e' lt 1impliese^(2)+e'^(2)lt 2`
For a hyperbola the eccentricity is greater than `1`.
So, the conics can be hyperbolas.
