We know that the combined equation of the asymptotes and
the equation of the hyperbola differ by a constant.
 we can take the equations of the asymptotes as

Let xy = c2 be the rectangular hyperbola, and let P (x1, y1) be

But (x1, y1) lies on xy = c2.

 h (2k) = c2  hk = c2/2

The equation of the tangent at (4, –2) to y2 = x is
– 2y = 21 (x + 4) or x + 4y + 4 = 0.
Its slope is – 41 .
Therefore the slope of the perpendicular line is 4. Since the
tangents at the end of focal chord of a parabola are at right
angle, the slope of the tangent at Q is 4.

24. (4)
Any tangent to y2 = kx is y = mx + k/m.
Comparing it with given line y = 1  x,
we get, m = -1 and k/4m = 1  k = -4.
Alternative:
If x+ y –1 = 0 touches y2 = kx, then y2 = k(1-y) would have
equal roots
 k2 + 4k = 0
 k = 0 or -4. But k  0 , hence k = -4.

 e2 a2 = a2 – b2  ea =  16  b2

 16 – b2 = (3)2  b2 = 7.

The coordinates of the extremity of one of the latus recta

It meets the coordinate axis at T(9/2, 0) and R(0, 3). If C is

which is an ellipse so that a = 5, b = 4

 16 = 25 (1  e2)
 e = 3/5.
We find that ae = 3.
Hence, F1((3, 0) and F2(3, 0) are the foci of the given
ellipse.
We know that PF1 + PF2 = 2a = 10.

Let the equation of the circle be x2 + y2 + 2gx + 2fy + c = 0.
Since it passes through (3, 4),
6g + 8f + c = 25. At it cuts the circle x2 + y2 = a2
orthogonally
2g × 0 + 2f × 0 = c – a2  c = a2  6g + 8f + a2 + 25 = 0
Locus of the centre (g, f) is 6x + 8y – (a2 + 25) = 0
Distance of the line from the origin is

If P, Q be the points of contact of tangents drawn from (0, 0)
then PQ is chord of contact whose equation is
3(x + 0) + 4(y + 0) – 12 = 0 or 3x + 4y – 12 = 0
 Required circle by S + P = 0 is
23
(x2 + y2 + 6x + 8y – 12) +  (3x + 4y – 12) = 0
Since it passes through (0, 0)
  = –1
 Circle is x2 + y2 + 3x + 4y = 0
Hence, its diameter = 5
Aliter: By geometry the diameter = dist. between the centre
of given circle and origin = 3  4  5
