 The given hyperbola is \mathrm{\frac{x^2}{81}-\frac{y^2}{49}=1}
Its eccentricity e is given by \mathrm{49=81\left(e^2-1\right)}

Hence, eccentricity \ell^{\prime} of the conjugate hyperbola is given by

\mathrm{81=49\left(e^{\prime 2}-1\right) \text { or } e^{\prime 2}=\frac{130}{49} \text { or } e^{\prime}=\frac{\sqrt{130}}{7}=1.62}
