Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) 8

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given hyperbola \(\frac{x^2}{9}-\frac{y^2}{1}=1\) So, \(y=m x \pm \sqrt{9 m^2-1}\) represent tangents which passes through \((3,2)\) \(\Rightarrow \quad m=\frac{5}{12}\) \(\therefore\) Tangents are \(12 y=5 x+9 \text { and } x=3\) Chord of contact will be…
