The locus of the midpoint of the system of parallel chords parallel to the line \(y=2 x\) to the hyperbola \(9 x^2-4 y^2=36\) is

  1. A 8x - 9y = 0
  2. B 9x - 8y = 0
  3. C 8x + 9y = 0
  4. D 9x - 4y = 0
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) 9x - 8y = 0

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Hint : Locus implies diameter of the hyperbola \(\begin{aligned} & \text {i.e. } y=\frac{b^2}{a^2 m} x \quad(m=2) \\ & \Rightarrow y=\frac{9}{8} x \\ & \Rightarrow 9 x-8 y=0 \end{aligned}\)
