Correct answer: B, A

  1. Given hyperbola

x29−y24=1\frac{x^2}{9}-\frac{y^2}{4}=19x2​−4y2​=1

This is of the form

x2a2−y2b2=1\frac{x^2}{a^2}-\frac{y^2}{b^2}=1a2x2​−b2y2​=1

with

a2=9,b2=4.a^2=9,\quad b^2=4.a2=9,b2=4.

  1. Slope of the given line

The line is

2x−y=1  ⟹  y=2x−12x-y=1 \implies y=2x-12x−y=1⟹y=2x−1

So its slope is

m=2.m=2.m=2.

Since the tangents are parallel to this line, the tangents to the hyperbola must also have slope 222.

  1. Equation of tangent to hyperbola with slope mmm

For the hyperbola

x2a2−y2b2=1,\frac{x^2}{a^2}-\frac{y^2}{b^2}=1,a2x2​−b2y2​=1,

a tangent with slope mmm is

y=mx±a2m2−b2.y=mx\pm \sqrt{a^2m^2-b^2}.y=mx±a2m2−b2​.

Here a2=9a^2=9a2=9, b2=4b^2=4b2=4, m=2m=2m=2. Hence

y=2x±9⋅4−4=2x±36−4=2x±32=2x±42.y=2x\pm \sqrt{9\cdot 4-4}=2x\pm \sqrt{36-4}=2x\pm \sqrt{32}=2x\pm 4\sqrt 2.y=2x±9⋅4−4​=2x±36−4​=2x±32​=2x±42​.

So the two tangents are

y=2x+42y=2x+4\sqrt2y=2x+42​

and

y=2x−42.y=2x-4\sqrt2.y=2x−42​.

  1. Find point of contact corresponding to slope 222

Differentiate the hyperbola implicitly:

x29−y24=1\frac{x^2}{9}-\frac{y^2}{4}=19x2​−4y2​=1

⇒2x9−2y4dydx=0\Rightarrow \frac{2x}{9}-\frac{2y}{4}\frac{dy}{dx}=0⇒92x​−42y​dxdy​=0

⇒2x9−y2dydx=0\Rightarrow \frac{2x}{9}-\frac{y}{2}\frac{dy}{dx}=0⇒92x​−2y​dxdy​=0

⇒dydx=4x9y.\Rightarrow \frac{dy}{dx}=\frac{4x}{9y}.⇒dxdy​=9y4x​.

For tangent slope 222,

4x9y=2\frac{4x}{9y}=29y4x​=2

⇒4x=18y\Rightarrow 4x=18y⇒4x=18y

⇒2x=9y\Rightarrow 2x=9y⇒2x=9y

⇒y=2x9.\Rightarrow y=\frac{2x}{9}.⇒y=92x​.

  1. Substitute into the hyperbola

Put y=2x9y=\dfrac{2x}{9}y=92x​ into

x29−y24=1.\frac{x^2}{9}-\frac{y^2}{4}=1.9x2​−4y2​=1.

Then

x29−14(2x9)2=1\frac{x^2}{9}-\frac{1}{4}\left(\frac{2x}{9}\right)^2=19x2​−41​(92x​)2=1

x29−14⋅4x281=1\frac{x^2}{9}-\frac{1}{4}\cdot \frac{4x^2}{81}=19x2​−41​⋅814x2​=1

x29−x281=1\frac{x^2}{9}-\frac{x^2}{81}=19x2​−81x2​=1

9x2−x281=1\frac{9x^2-x^2}{81}=1819x2−x2​=1

8x281=1\frac{8x^2}{81}=1818x2​=1

x2=818x^2=\frac{81}{8}x2=881​

x=±922.x=\pm \frac{9}{2\sqrt2}.x=±22​9​.

Now

y=2x9=±12.y=\frac{2x}{9}=\pm \frac{1}{\sqrt2}.y=92x​=±2​1​.

So the points of contact are

(922,12)\left(\frac{9}{2\sqrt2},\frac{1}{\sqrt2}\right)(22​9​,2​1​)

and

(−922,−12).\left(-\frac{9}{2\sqrt2},-\frac{1}{\sqrt2}\right).(−22​9​,−2​1​).

  1. Match with options
  • A: (922,12)\left( \frac{9}{2\sqrt 2 },\frac{1}{\sqrt 2 } \right)(22​9​,2​1​) ✓
  • B: (−922,−12)\left( -\frac{9}{2\sqrt 2 },-\frac{1}{\sqrt 2 } \right)(−22​9​,−2​1​) ✓
  • C: (33,−22)\left( 3\sqrt 3 , - 2\sqrt 2 \right)(33​,−22​) ✗
  • D: (−33,22)\left( -3\sqrt 3 , 2\sqrt 2 \right)(−33​,22​) ✗

Therefore, the correct options are A and B.
