The lines xcosα+ysinα=P, α are chords of the hyperbola x29-y236=1 and they subtend a right angle at the centre of the hyperbola. The locus of the poles of these lines with respect to the given hyperbola is

  1. A x2-16y2=108
  2. B 16x2-y2=108
  3. C 16x2+y2=108
  4. D x2+16y2=108
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) 16x2+y2=108

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The equation of the straight lines joining origin to the points of intersection of the line xcosα+ysinα=P and the hyperbola x29-y236 =1 can be obtained by making the equation of the hyperbola homogeneous. For this, we have from the equation of the line, i.e.…
