MHT CET · Maths · Hyperbola

If the tangent at the point \((2 \sec \theta, 3 \tan \theta)\) to the hyperbola \(\frac{x^2}{4}-\frac{y^2}{9}=1\) is parallel to \(3 x-y+4=0\), then the value of \(\theta\) is

  1. A \(45^{\circ}\)
  2. B \(60^{\circ}\)
  3. C \(30^{\circ}\)
  4. D \(90^{\circ}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(30^{\circ}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\frac{d}{dx}\left(\frac{x^2}{4}-\frac{y^2}{9}=1\right) \implies \frac{2x}{4} - \frac{2y}{9}\frac{dy}{dx} = 0\) \(m_t = \frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{9x}{4y}\)
