If the distances of one focus of hyperbo...

If the distances of one focus of hyperbola from its directrices are 5 and 3, then its eccentricity is

A

`sqrt2`

B

2

C

4

D

8

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
We have
`ae-(a)/(e)=3and ae+(a)/(e)=5`
`therefore" "ae=4and (1)/(e)=1`
`therefore" "a^(2)=4`
`therefore" "a=2`
`therefore" "e=2`
