The distance between the tangents of the hyperbola \(2 x^2-3 y^2=6\) which are perpendicular to the line \(x-2 y+5=0\) is

  1. A \(2 \sqrt{2}\)
  2. B 4
  3. C \(\sqrt{2}\)
  4. D \(3 \sqrt{2}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(2 \sqrt{2}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Hyperbola: \(\frac{x^2}{3} - \frac{y^2}{2} = 1 \implies a^2=3, b^2=2\) Slope of given line \(x-2y+5=0\) is \(m_1 = \frac{1}{2}\). Slope of tangents \(m = -\frac{1}{m_1} = -2\). Tangent equation: \(y = mx \pm \sqrt{a^2 m^2 - b^2}\) \(y = -2x \pm \sqrt{3(-2)^2 - 2}\)…
