Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\frac{2}{\sqrt{5}}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given equation of hyperbola \(3 x^2-y^2=3\) \[ \frac{x^2}{1}-\frac{y^2}{3}=1 \] We know that, equation of tangents of slope \(m\) to the hyperbola \(\frac{x^2}{a^2}-\frac{y^2}{b^2}=\mathrm{l}\) is \[ y=m x \pm \sqrt{a^2 m^2-b^2} \] \(\therefore\) Equation of tangents to Eq. (i)…
