  2. B the ellipse \(\frac{x^{2}}{9}+\frac{y^{2}}{4}=1\)
  3. C the hyperbola \(\frac{x^{2}}{4}-\frac{y^{2}}{9}=1\)
  4. D the hyperbola \(\frac{x^{2}}{9}-\frac{y^{2}}{4}=1\)

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) the ellipse \(\frac{x^{2}}{4}+\frac{y^{2}}{9}=1\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given equation of lines are \[ 3 t \times-2 y+6 t=0 \] and \(\quad 3 x+2 t y-6=0\) On multiplying Eq. (i) by \(t\) and then adding in Eq. (ii), we get \(\left(3 t^{2}+3\right) x+6 t^{2}-6=0\) \(\Rightarrow \quad x=\frac{2\left(1-t^{2}\right)}{\left(1+t^{2}\right)}\)…
