  1. A \((3,1)\) lies on the hyperbola.
  2. B \((-3,1)\) lies on the hyperbola.
  3. C \((5,2)\) lies on the hyperbola.
  4. D \((10,4)\) lies on the hyperbola.
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \((10,4)\) lies on the hyperbola.

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

We have, \[ \frac{x^{2}}{36}-\frac{y^{8}}{k^{2}}=1 \] Option (a) \((3,1)\) \[ \begin{aligned} \frac{9}{36}-\frac{1}{k^{2}} &=1 \\ \Rightarrow \quad & \frac{1}{k^{2}}=\frac{-27}{36} \Rightarrow k^{2}=\frac{-36}{27} \end{aligned} \] which is not possible. Option (b) \((-3,1)\)…
