If θ is an angle between the two asymptotes of the  hyperbola x2a2y2b2=1, then cosθ2 is equal to

a
ba2+b2
b
aba2+b2
c
aa2+b2
d
a−ba+b

detailed solution

Correct option is C

Slopes of the asymptotes are ±ba⇒tan⁡θ=ba−−ba1+ba−ba⇒2tan⁡θ21−tan2⁡θ2=2(b/a)1−ba2⇒tan⁡θ2=ba as tan⁡θ2>0⇒cos⁡θ2=11+b2a2=aa2+b2
