Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\frac{a^2 b^2}{a^2+b^2}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Let \((a \sec \theta, b \tan \theta)\) be any point on the hyperbola \(\frac{x^2}{a^2}-\frac{y^2}{b^2}=1\) The equation of the asymptotes of the given hyperbola are \(\left(\frac{x}{a}+\frac{y}{b}\right)=0 \text { and }\left(\frac{x}{a}-\frac{y}{b}\right)=0\) Now, \(P_1=\)…
