Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) a hyperbola

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\begin{array}{l} \text { Let } \angle M A B=\theta \text { , then } \angle M B A=2 \theta \\ \text { tan } \theta=\frac{k}{1+h} \text { and } \tan 2 \theta=\frac{k}{2-h} \\ \text { then } \tan 2 \theta=\frac{2 \tan \theta}{1-\tan ^{2} \theta}=\frac{k}{2-h} \\ \Rightarrow \quad…
