Hence centre is (1,1)

Equation of asymptotes are (x1)(y1)=0

Equation of hyperbola is xyxy+1+λ=0

Equation of hyperbola is xyxy1=0

  1. Ans b

  2. Ans c

  3. From centre of hyperbola we can drow two real tangents.

Answer (d)

7. True/ False

S1: Number of points from where perpendicular tangents can be drown to the hyperbola 16x29y2=144 is infinite.

S2: If distance between two parallel tangents drawn to the hyperbola x29y249=1 is 2 then

their slopes is equal to ±52.

S3: If through the point (5,0) chords are drawn to the hyperbola x225y29=1. Then locus of their middle points is also a hyperbola whose length of latus rectum is same as given hyperbola 9x225y2=225.

S4: If the line y=mx+a2m2b2 touches the hyperbola x2a2y2b2=1 at the point (asecθ,btanθ) then θ=sin1(bam).

(a) TTFF

(b) FTTF

(c) FTFT

(d) TFTF

Show Answer

Solution

S1: If b2>a2, the radius of director circle is imaginary. Hence there is no pair of tangents at right angle can be drawn to the curve.

S2: y=mx±9m249

Now |29 m2491+m2|=29 m249=1+m2

8 m2=50

m=±52

S3: Let mid point be (h,k)

Equation of chord whose mid point is given is

T=S1

xh25yk91=b225k291

This passes through (5,0)5 h2501=h225K291

45 h=9 h225k2

Locus of (h,k) is 9x245x25y2=0

9(x25x+254254)25y2=09(x5/2)225y2=2254

(x5/2)2(254)y2(94)=1

Length of latus rectum in not same.

S4: Since (asecθ,btanθ) lies on y=mx+a2m2b2

btanθ=amsecθ+a2 m2b2

(btanθasecθ)2=a2m2b2

a2 m2sin2θ eabmsin θ+b2=0(cosθ0)

(amsinθb)2=0

sinθ=bam

Hence θ=sin1(bam)

Answer (c)

8. Match the column

Column I Column II
(a) The area of the triangle that a tangent at a point of the hyperbola x216y29=1 makes with its asymptotes is (p) 12
(b) If the line y=3x+λ touches the curve 9x25y2=45, then |λ| is (q) 6
(c) If the chord xcosα+ysinα=p of the hyperbola x216y218=1 subtends a right angle at the centre, then the diameter of the circle, concentric with the hyperbola, to which the given chord is a tangent is (r) 24
(d) If λ be the length of the latus rectum of the hyperbola 16x29y2+32x+36y164=0, then 3λ is equal to (s) 32
Show Answer

Solution

(a) Equation of tangent at (a,0) is x=a

asymptotes y=bax & y=bax

 Area =2×12×a×b=4×3=12a

(b) y=3x+λ touches the curve 9x25y2=45

 then 9x25(3x+λ)2=4536x2+30λx+5λ2+45=0 has equal roots 900λ24×36(5λ2+45)=0λ2=36λ=±6 Hence |λ|=6

(c) The combined equation OA and OB we get when we make a homogeneous equation with the help of line and hyperbola

i.e. 18x216y2288(xcosα+ysinαp)2=0

9p2x29p2y2144(x2cos2α+y2sin2α+2xysinαcosα)=0

(9p2144cos2α)x2288sinαcosαxy+(144sin2α8p2)y2=0

Lines are perpendicular 9p2144cos2α8p2144sin2α=0

p2=144p=±12

Radius of circle =12

Diameter of circle =24

(c) (r)

(d) 16x2+32x9y2+36y=164

16(x+1)29(y2)2=144

(x+1)29(y2)216=1

length of latus rectum =2×163=323
