    The distance between the foci of a hyperbola is double the distance between its vertices and the length of its conjugate axis is 6. The equation of the hyperbola referred to its axes as axes of coordinates are

    A) \[3{{x}^{2}}-{{y}^{2}}=3\]

    B) \[{{x}^{2}}-3{{y}^{2}}=3\]

    C) \[3{{x}^{2}}-{{y}^{2}}=9\]

    D) \[{{x}^{2}}-3{{y}^{2}}=9\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    According to given condition,\[2ae=2\cdot 2a\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[e=2\] and        \[2b=6\,\,\,\Rightarrow \,\,\,b=3\] Hence,  \[a=\frac{3}{\sqrt{3}}=\sqrt{3}\] \[\therefore \]Required equation is                 \[\frac{{{x}^{2}}}{3}-\frac{{{y}^{2}}}{9}=1\] \[\Rightarrow \,\,\,3{{x}^{2}}-{{y}^{2}}=9\]
