Answer» Correct Answer - C We have `(2b^(2))/(a)=8` `and 2b=(1)/(2)(2ae)` `therefore" "(2)/(a)((ae)/(2))^(2)=8` `"or "ae^(2)=16" (1)"` Also, `2xx(b^(2))/(a)=8` `"or "b^(2)=4a` `"or "a^(2)(e^(2)-1)=4a` `"or "ae^(2)-a=4" (2)"` From (1) and (2), we have `16-(16)/(e^(2))=4` `"or "(16)/(e^(2))=12` `"or "e=(2)/(sqrt3)` |
