Solution

The correct option is B


we should do good if we know the chords equation joining 2 points of a hyperbola x2a2 y2b2 = 1

which is,

xa.cos[αβ2] yb.sin.[α+β2] = cos[α+β2]

since this process through focus (ae,0)

e.cos[αβ2] 0 = cos[α+β2]

e = cos[α+β2]cos[αβ2] = cosp2cosq2

Hence option (b)
