The correct answer is: does not intersect the hyperbola

Given,

Origin be the centre, ±3,0 be the foci and 32 be the eccentricity of a hyperbola,

Now we know that foci is ±ae,0±3,0,

So ae=3 and given e=32 then a=12,

Now by formula b2=a2e2-1 we get b=54

So, equation of hyperbola will be x214-y2516=1

20x2-y2=80

Now putting the value of y from the line 2x-y-1=0 in hyperbola to check intersecting or not,

So, 20x2-2x-12=80

16x2+4x-81=0

Now discriminant D=42+4×16×81>0, hence line does not intersect the hyperbola.
