Q. Eccentricity of hyperbola whose asymptotes are $3x - 4y = 7\ and\ 4x + 3y = 8$, is
A) $\sqrt{2}$
B) 2
C) Not sufficient information
D) None of the above
Explanation
(a)
Since, asymptotes $3x - 4y = 7$ and $4x + 3y = 8$ are perpendicular, therefore it is a rectangular hyperbola, so eccentricity is $\sqrt{2}.$
