Consider a hyperbola: `((x-7)^(2))/(a) -((y+3)^(2))/(b^(2)) =1`. The line `3x - 2y - 25 =0`, which is not a tangent, intersect the hyperbola at `H ((11)/(3),-7)` only. A variable point `P(alpha +7, alpha^(2)-4) AA alpha in R` exists in the plane of the given hyperbola. The eccentricity of the hyperbola isA. `sqrt((7)/(5))`B. `sqrt(2)`C. `(sqrt(13))/(2)`D. `(3)/(2)`

Answer» Correct Answer - C
The given line must be parallel to asymptotes
`rArr` Slope of asymptotes are `(3)/(2)` and `-(3)/(2)`
`rArr (b)/(a) =(3)/(2) rArr e = (sqrt(13))/(2)`
