Solution

The correct option is B


In the standard hyperbola,

x2a2 y2b2 = 1

Given that eccentricity,

e=2

Also distance between the foci is given by 2ae.

Given,

2ae=8

i.e.,ae=4

a=4e = 2

The lengths of transverse axis,conjugate axis and

the eccentricity are related by.

b2 = a2 (e21)

i.e.,b2=4.(41)

=12.

The required equation of hyperbola is,

x24 y212 = 1
