Solution

The correct option is A

2a


Tranverse axis is the one which pass through centre of the hyperbola

and cut hyperbola at 2 real points, the vertices of the hyperbola.

In standard hyperbola of the form x2a2y2b2=1,

the vertices are (a,0) and (-a,0) and hence the length of transverse axis=2a
