The correct answer is:
4
$p$ and $q$ are eccentricity of hyperbola
$\frac{x^2}{a^2}-\frac{y^2}{b^2}=1$ and its conjugate of hyperbola,
$\therefore \quad p^2=\frac{a^2+b^2}{a^2} \text { and } q^2=\frac{a^2+b^2}{b^2}$

Solving Eqs. (i) and (ii), we get
$(1,1),(-1,-1),(-1,1)(1,-1)$
Area of square $A B C D,=A B^2=(2)^2=4$
$\frac{x^2}{a^2}-\frac{y^2}{b^2}=1$ and its conjugate of hyperbola,
$\therefore \quad p^2=\frac{a^2+b^2}{a^2} \text { and } q^2=\frac{a^2+b^2}{b^2}$
