    The eccentricity of the hyperbola \[\frac{{{x}^{2}}}{16}-\frac{{{y}^{2}}}{25}=1\] is:

    A)  \[\frac{3}{4}\]                                  

    B)  \[\frac{3}{5}\]

    C)  \[\frac{\sqrt{41}}{4}\]                                  

    D)  \[\frac{\sqrt{41}}{5}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    Given equation is \[\frac{{{x}^{2}}}{10}-\frac{{{y}^{2}}}{25}=1\] Here, \[{{a}^{2}}=16,\,{{b}^{3}}=25\]      \[(b>a)\] \[\therefore \]  \[e=\sqrt{1+\frac{{{a}^{2}}}{{{b}^{2}}}}\]                 \[=\sqrt{1+\frac{16}{25}}=\sqrt{\frac{14}{25}}=\sqrt{\frac{41}{5}}\]
