Correct Answer: Option E
Explanation

s = \(\sqrt{(\frac{a^2}{x^2} - \frac{b^2}{y^2})}\)

s\(^2\) = \(\frac{a^2}{x^2} - \frac{b^2}{y^2}\)

\(\frac{b^2}{y^2}\) = \(\frac{a^2}{x^2}\) - s\(^2\)

\(\frac{b^2}{y^2}\) = \(\frac{a^2 - s^2 x^2}{x^2}\)

\(\frac{1}{y^2}\) = \((\frac{a^2 - s^2 x^2}{x^2}) \times \frac{1}{b^2}\)

\(\frac{1}{y^2}\) = \(\frac{a^2 - s^2 x^2}{b^2 x^2}\)

\(\therefore\) y\(^2\) = \(\frac{b^2 x^2}{a^2 - s^2 x^2}\)

y = \(\sqrt{\frac{b^2 x^2}{a^2 - s^2 x^2}}\)
