JEE Mains · Maths · STD 11 - 10.2 parabola,ellipse,hyperbola

A normal to the hyperbola, \(4x^2 - 9y^2\, = 36\) meets the co-ordinate axes \(x\) and \(y\) at \(A\) and \(B\), respectively . If the parallelogram \(OABP\) ( \(O\) being the origin) is formed, then the locus of \(P\) is

  1. A \(4x^2 -9y^2\, = 121\)
  2. B \(4x^2 +9y^2\,= 121\)
  3. C \(9x^2 -4y^2\, = 169\)
  4. D \(9x^2 +4y^2\, = 169\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(9x^2 -4y^2\, = 169\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given, \(4{x^2} - 9{y^2} = 36\) ater differentiating w.r.t.\(x\), we get \(4.2x - 9.2y.\frac{{dy}}{{dx}} = 0\) \( \Rightarrow \) slope of tangent \( = \frac{{dy}}{{dx}} = \frac{{4x}}{{9y}}\) so, slope of normal \( = \frac{{ - 9y}}{{4x}}\) Now, equation of normal at point…
