If e is the eccentricity of the hyperbola `(x^(2))/(a^(2))-(y^(2))/(b^(2))=1` and `theta` is the angle between the asymptotes, then `cos.(theta)/(2)` is equal toA. `(1-e)/(e)`B. `(2)/(e ) -e`C. `(1)/(e )`D. `(2)/(e )`

Answer» Correct Answer - C
`theta = 2 tan^(-1).(b)/(a) rArr tan.(theta)/(2) = (b)/(a)`
`rArr cos.(theta)/(2) = (a)/(sqrt(a^(2)+b^(2))) = (1)/(sqrt(1+(b^(2))/(a^(2)))) = (1)/(e)`
