Answer:
Option (B)
Explanation:
From the picture attached,
F1 and F2 are the focii of the hyperbola.
Point P(x, y) is x units distant from F1 and y units distant from the other focus F2.
By the definition of a hyperbola,
"Difference between the distances of a point from the focii is always constant and equals to the measure of transverse axis."
Difference in the distances of point P from focii F1 and F2 = (x - y) units
This distance is equal to the length of the transverse axis = (x - y) units
Therefore, Option (B) will be the answer.
