Correct answer
C8
Step-by-step explanation
$\begin{aligned}
& \frac{\mathrm{x}^2}{\mathrm{a}^2}+\frac{\mathrm{y}^2}{\mathrm{~b}^2}=1 \text { foci are }(\mathrm{ae}, 0) \text { and }(-\mathrm{ae}, 0) \\
& \frac{\mathrm{x}^2}{\mathrm{~A}^2}+\frac{\mathrm{y}^2}{\mathrm{~B}^2}=1 \text { foci are }\left(\mathrm{Ae}^{\prime}, 0\right) \text { and }\left(-\mathrm{Ae}^{\prime}, 0\right) \\
& \Rightarrow 2 \mathrm{ae}=2 \sqrt{3} \Rightarrow \mathrm{ae}=\sqrt{3} \\
& \text { and } 2 \mathrm{Ae}^{\prime}=2 \sqrt{3} \Rightarrow \mathrm{Ae}^{\prime}=\sqrt{3} \\
& \Rightarrow \mathrm{ae}=\mathrm{Ae}^{\prime} \Rightarrow \frac{\mathrm{e}}{\mathrm{e}^{\prime}}=\frac{\mathrm{A}}{\mathrm{a}} \\
& \Rightarrow \frac{1}{3}=\frac{\mathrm{A}}{\mathrm{a}} \Rightarrow \mathrm{a}=3 \mathrm{~A}
\end{aligned}$
Now and
$\begin{aligned}
& \mathrm{b}^2=\mathrm{a}^2\left(1-\mathrm{e}^2\right) \\
& \mathrm{b}^2=6
\end{aligned}$
and
