Concept: 

Equation of hyperbola ,  

Eccentricity, e =   

Directrix, x  =  

 

Equation of hyperbola ,   

Eccentricity, e =  

Directrix, y =   

 

Calculation: 

Given hyperbolic equation are ,  3y2 - 2x2 = 12 

⇒  

On comparing with standard equation, a =  and  b = 2 .

We know that eccentricity, e =  

⇒ e =  

⇒ e =         

As we know that Directrix , y =  

∴ Directrix, y =  

Directrix, y =  . 

The correct option is 4 .
