Ans: (a, b) 
Sol: The line through (6,2) is ?? - 2 = ?? (?? - 6) ? ?? = ???? + 2 - 6?? 
Now, from condition of tangency (2 - 6?? )

Ans: (c) 
Sol: Here ?? = 2sec ?? and ?? = 3tan ?? 
Differentiating w.r.t. ??

But tangent is parallel to 3?? - ?? + 4 = 0; ? Gradient ?? = 3 
From (i) and (ii),

Q8: The locus of the point of intersection of tangents to the hyperbola 
?? ?? ?? - ?? ?? ?? = ???? which meet at a constant angle ?? /?? , is 
(a) (?? ?? + ?? ?? - ?? )
?? = ?? (?? ?? ?? - ?? ?? ?? + ???? ) 
(b) (?? ?? + ?? ?? - ?? ) = ?? (?? ?? ?? - ?? ?? ?? + ???? ) 
(c) ?? (?? ?? + ?? ?? - ?? )
?? = (?? ?? ?? - ?? ?? ?? + ???? ) 
(d) None of these 
Ans: (a) 
Sol: Let the point of intersection of tangents be ?? (?? 1
, ?? 1
). Then the equation of 
pair of tangents from ?? (?? 1
, ?? 1
) to the given hyperbola is (4?? 2

 or ?? 2
(?? 1
2

?? 1
???? + ?? 2
(?? 1

(b) (?? ?? + ?? ?? )
?? = ?? ?? ?? - ???? ?? ?? 
(c) (?? ?? - ?? ?? )

Any tangent to (i) is ?? = ???? + v16?? 2
- 9 
Let (?? 1
, ?? 1
) be the mid point of the chord of the circle ?? 2

Then equation of the chord is ?? = ?? 1
 i.e., ?? ?? 1
+ ?? ?? 1
- (?? 1
