The locus of the point of intersection of the lines `sqrt3 x- y-4sqrt3 t= 0 & sqrt3 tx +ty-4 sqrt3=0` (where t is a parameter) is a hyperbola whose eccentricity is:

A

`sqrt3`

B

2

C

`2//sqrt3`

D

`4//3`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
Eliminating from the given two equations, we have
`(x^(2))/(16)-(y^(2))/(48)=1`
whose eccentricity is
`e=sqrt(1+(48)/(16))=2`
