    The eccentricity of the conjugate hyperbola of the hyperbola\[{{x}^{2}}-3{{y}^{2}}=1\]is

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

    B)  4

    C)  \[2\]

    D)  \[\frac{2}{\sqrt{3}}\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

     We know that, eccentricity of the hyperbola \[\frac{{{x}^{2}}}{{{a}^{2}}}-\frac{{{y}^{2}}}{{{b}^{2}}}=1\] is \[e'=\sqrt{\frac{{{a}^{2}}+{{b}^{2}}}{{{b}^{2}}}}\] Given, equation of hyperbola is \[{{x}^{2}}-3{{y}^{2}}=1\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[\frac{{{x}^{2}}}{1}-\frac{{{y}^{2}}}{1/3}=1\] Here,         \[{{a}^{2}}=1\] and \[{{b}^{2}}=1\] \[\therefore \] \[e'=\sqrt{\frac{1+\frac{1}{3}}{\frac{1}{3}}}\] \[=\sqrt{\frac{3+1}{1}}\] \[=\sqrt{4}=2\]
